KG Finance & Shipping 2008 is the leading industry report on KG ship finance and essential for anyone attempting to understand and analyse this key source of maritime capital.

The KG financing system provides one of the world's most significant sources of ship finance today. Over 20% of investment in German closed end funds is estimated to be in shipping, generally in the form of KG financing. In 2007, an estimated US$5.6 billion of equity was invested in shipping KG funds in Germany, contributing to a total KG investment volume in ships of US$12.6 billion.

Against this background, Clarkson Research Services is pleased to present its fifth annual report on the subject. This provides detailed coverage of a wide range of aspects of KG ship finance today.

• Detailed explanation and analysis of the secondary market in KG investments.
