Marine Money's 2025 Ship Finance 'Deals of the Year' Awards

On May 5, 2026, Marine Money proudly announced the winners of its highly anticipated 22nd annual "Deals of the Year" Awards. This event honors outstanding achievements within the maritime finance sector, recognizing those who have made significant contributions to the shipowning realm.

The significance of the shipowning business cannot be overstated, especially in an environment characterized by substantial capital commitments and fluctuating market conditions. Navigating these challenging waters, Marine Money's Managing Director, Matt McCleery, emphasized the profound importance of making the right deal at the right time. He stated, "In the shipowning business—where significant capital commitments intersect with volatile and unpredictable markets—striking the right deal at the right time can make all the difference."

For over two decades, Marine Money has had the privilege to applaud the ingenuity and collaborative efforts that exemplify excellence in maritime finance. This year's awards serve to shine a light on the creativity, teamwork, and astute risk management that define successful transactions.

The winners were chosen based on their capacity to execute deals that reflect the industry's core values, showcasing the relationships and teamwork that are vital within the maritime finance community. McCleery added, "While funding volumes are in the billions and transaction structures are almost always multijurisdictional, Marine Money's 'Deals of the Year' Awards ultimately celebrate the people and relationships that make our industry so special."

The recognition extends beyond mere financial figures; it highlights the collaborative spirit among global shipowners, bankers, financial advisors, and legal professionals who together play a critical role in advancing one of the world's most essential industries. The winning teams will be acknowledged at Marine Money Week, an event scheduled to take place from June 15 to 17, 2026, at The Pierre Hotel in New York City. This occasion will provide attendees the chance to engage in networking activities and photography sessions, further celebrating the peerless accomplishments within maritime finance.

For those interested in accessing the list of winners as well as upcoming details regarding Marine Money Week, additional information can be found on the official Marine Money website. The honored individuals and their achievements will be prominently featured across Marine Money’s social media platforms, helping to disseminate recognition far and wide.

In an industry that relies heavily on strong relationships and innovative strategies, the 2025 Ship Finance "Deals of the Year" awards not only underscore the financial accomplishments of the past year but also pave the way for future collaborations and advancements within maritime finance.
