Marine Hedge is a specialist hedge fund investing in global shipping markets — from dry bulk and tankers to container vessels and offshore assets.
Founded by a team of former shipowners, investment bankers, and commodity traders, Marine Hedge brings deep operational knowledge to the intersection of global trade and capital markets.
We take concentrated, high-conviction positions in shipping equities, vessel ownership, freight derivatives, and maritime credit — exploiting structural inefficiencies that generalist investors consistently overlook.
Our edge lies in our proprietary intelligence network spanning 40+ ports across 6 continents, giving us real-time visibility into supply-demand dynamics before they are reflected in public markets.
"The sea is the same for every mariner. What differs is the captain's judgement."
Over 140 years of combined shipping experience across our investment committee — spanning operations, chartering, and finance.
Vessel tracking, port congestion analytics, and freight rate models built in-house and updated in real time.
Rigorous position sizing, drawdown controls, and liquidity management — protecting capital in volatile freight cycles.
The investment team has significant personal capital invested alongside our limited partners in every strategy.
Our multi-strategy approach allows us to rotate capital across the most attractive opportunities in the shipping cycle, maintaining consistent returns across market conditions.
Long/short positions in listed shipping companies, exploiting valuation gaps between NAV and market price across dry bulk, tankers, and container sectors.
Direct acquisition of vessels at cyclical lows, generating cash yield through time charters while capturing asset appreciation as the cycle turns.
Active trading in Forward Freight Agreements (FFAs) and options to capitalise on short-term rate volatility and hedge physical exposure.
Senior secured lending and distressed debt in ship finance — capturing yield premiums unavailable to generalist credit investors.
Annualised since inception across our flagship fund, net of all fees and carried interest.
Available to qualified institutional investors and family offices. Side pockets available for direct vessel investments.
Our directly-owned vessels operate across the major shipping segments, providing real operational insight that informs every investment decision we make.
VLCC, Suezmax, and MR tankers operating on major crude oil and refined products trade routes.
Capesize, Panamax, and Supramax vessels carrying iron ore, coal, grain, and minor bulk commodities.
Container vessels on intra-Asia and transatlantic feeder routes, chartered to major liner operators.
