Hazardous Cargo Bulletin, December 2004, 'EXSIF forms financing alliance'
Tank container leasing giant EXSIF Worldwide has formed a strategic alliance with UK-headquartered container financing operation CG Capital, under which CG Capital is providing long-term financing arrangements to EXSIF’s clients seeking such financing. CG Capital’s arrangement with EXSIF is CG Capital’s first venture under its “Vendor Programme,” which effectively enables lessors to outsource their finance offerings. CG Capital says it is seeking out other lessors interested in joining the Vendor Programme.
“We think we are offering something very different to the market – competitive financing to tank operators and chemical companies, but with a knowledge of the industry,” says Rob Hawking, marketing director of CG Capital. “One of the key problems in this market is that a lot of traditional banks don’t understand the equipment. But what we’ve done is form relationships with partner banks and persuaded them through our industry knowledge to arrange financing with more flexible structures than the traditional deals.”
