Revenue Generation (chartering, cash flows)

The revenue generation associated with each vessel is driven by two distinct facets: an income-focused strategy, meticulously managed to ensure the highest operational revenue possible, and a capital-appreciation strategy, that relies on opportunistic purchase prices below market value, value-retention management during operating period.

Chartering Revenue

The business model associated with operating dry bulk vessels relies on selling allocated charters and operating them all around the globe. Ethra is partnered with seasoned professionals with expertise in both technical and commercial management within the shipping and maritime sectors, ensuring that the daily hiring rates remain competitive and in line with the ever growing demand.

Another key factor in the creation of steady cash flows is the risk management associated with operating assets subject to significant outside factors. In today's maritime industry, comprehensive risk mitigation and insurance are indispensable for safeguarding assets and operations. Ethra Invest is at the forefront of delivering comprehensive risk mitigation and insurance solutions tailored for today's dynamic and volatile investment environment. The goal is to deploy advanced hedging strategies that actively minimize exposure to various risks, ensuring stable cash flows, while shielding the operation from market volatility.

Terminal Value

The second stream of income is generated by the capital gains coming from the sale of the vessels. At inception, the vessels are acquired at a preferred purchase price below market value. Building fleets of vessels 10 years old and up, provides a protection from early stage depreciation in the value of a new asset.

Once acquired and operating, the vessels are maintained by a contracted technical manager throughout their operating period to ensure that they retain their value over time, in order to ultimately drive capital growth. Thanks to a thorough risk assessment and in-depth sector analysis, the vessels can be divested following supply and demand trends on the global market and by seizing market opportunities.
