Transport Asset Financing
DekaBank's transport asset financing division boasts decades of experience and expertise in the transport sector. Activities include financing for aircraft, ships, and rolling railway stock. Over the years, our sales team based in Frankfurt has built a global network with airlines, aircraft lessors, shipping companies, arrangers, law firms, banks, and other market participants. In addition to direct acquisition and secondary market transactions from the international banking market, we collaborate with partners in the USA, Europe, and Asia.
DekaBank focuses on first-ranking mortgage-secured, medium- to long-term financing primarily for new equipment, both on a commercial and covered basis. The main focus is on modern short-, medium-, and long-haul passenger jets from manufacturers Boeing and Airbus. Financing for modern cargo aircraft is also part of our product range. Opportunistically, and for portfolio diversification purposes, we also finance regional jets from manufacturers Embraer and Bombardier.
For ships, the focus is also on first-ranking mortgage-secured, short-, medium-, and long-term financing for vessels built with the latest designs in the container, tanker, and bulk cargo segments, including MPP (multipurpose vessels). In addition to commercial financing, Deka also offers ECA-backed financing with the support of internationally renowned export credit insurers. Furthermore, DekaBank is a signatory of the Poseidon Principles and supports global initiatives for sustainable shipping operations.
DekaBank has been active in the rail sector since the early 2000s. In addition to financing trainsets and carriages for public passenger transport, the focus is on freight transport for wagons, locomotives, and intermodal equipment. Our clients in the passenger segment include public contracting authorities and railway operators, while in the freight segment, leasing platforms - primarily in Europe - are our main partners.
