Overview

Returning Partner Secures Affordable Marine Financing

Diamond Willow secured a $20 million term loan on a marine asset, cutting borrowing costs by over 70%.

As a portfolio company for a large family office Diamond Willow had supported previously, the investor returned and asked us to finance a key vessel stuck under an expensive bridge loan. We verified the collateral, addressed the legal questions, and ran a competitive process, providing a solution that materially reduced borrowing costs.
