CIT Group announced that its Maritime Finance business arranged to provide up to $58 million to refinance four container ships operated by Leonhardt & Blumberg.

The financing includes both term loan and delayed draw components. Leonhardt & Blumberg is a long-standing shipowner and management firm with an existing managed fleet of more than 35 feeder vessels ranging in size from 1,000 to 3,600 TEU.

“Container ships play a vital role in moving goods to market through the global supply chain,” said Mathias Gaethje, Managing Director, Leonhardt & Blumberg. “We appreciated CIT’s expertise in arranging financing for these vessels.”

“Leonhardt & Blumberg is well-known throughout the shipping industry for their expertise in operating and managing container ships,” said Evan Cohen, managing director and group head for CIT’s Maritime Finance business. “We worked closely to understand their objectives and arrange the right financing to help them reach their business goals.”

Maritime Finance, part of CIT's Commercial Finance division, offers customized solutions for secured loans to a global client base of vessel owners and operators.
