Nesec has been active as a financing institution for the maritime sector since 1946. We are continuously seeking sustainable financing solutions for our clients.
The Netherlands will continue to play an important role in maritime transport in the future, particularly in short sea shipping. Reducing CO2 emissions, and developing alternative energy sources are continuous challenges. Tansport by ship remains the most efficient and the cleanest mode of transport. Credit capacity for the financing of SMEs in the shortsea sectoris limited.
Our goal is to make a difference in our industry. Nesec develops, in addition to traditional methods of financing, various debt funds for diverse target groups and capital goods, of which the Nesec Shipping Debt Fund (NSDF) is the most well-known. NSDF is a €250 million that provides first priority mortgage loans with a focus on short sea shipping. Read more about NSDF here.
Currently, work is underway on the new Maritime Emission Reduction Fund. With this fund, we will finance a sustainable, vibrant, and profitable maritime sector. For more information on the opportunities to participate in one of our funds or to be kept informed about new funds, click here.
Nesec proudly presents its latest fund, the Maritime Emission Reduction Fund (MERF). This €200 million fund will focus on financing sustainable solutions for existing ships and financing sustainable new ships. The funding for the ships will be used to reduce emissions below future emission standards. This enables shipowners to benefit from the (financial) advantages of an environmentally friendly ship. MERF will be used for the sustainable development goals outlined below, globally known as the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals. The fund closing is expected to take place in 2026. Afterward, we expect to be able to issue the first loans.
The Nesec Shipping Debt Fund (NSDF) is a €250 million financing fund aimed at sustainably addressing bottlenecks in maritime financing capacity.
