Capital is the engine of modern shipping, and the instrument that protects that capital is the ship mortgage. For nearly three decades, Gerli & Co. has drafted and registered naval mortgages — a body of practice and a volume of registrations that are themselves the best evidence of our competence. Banks and financial institutions return to this firm precisely because our work safeguards the rights of mortgagee and mortgagor alike, every time, without exception.
Lenders value certainty above all. A mortgage that is defective, mis-recorded or vulnerable to challenge is worse than no security at all. Our maritime finance team drafts instruments that hold up — correctly ranked, properly recorded, and enforceable — and we remain present throughout the life of the facility, from registration to discharge. The Gerli brand on a transaction is a signal to the financing party that the security interest will be honoured.
Our role is not only to protect lenders; it is to give owners a clean, professional path to finance. By presenting a properly structured, well-documented vessel and owning company, we make the asset financeable — reducing friction, accelerating closings, and helping owners obtain the capital they need to grow their fleets.
