European Maritime Finance (EMF) was founded in 2014 as a trading division of SIPA Group SA in Switzerland.
The objective was to create a bridge between ship owners seeking to raise capital and professional investors who wanted to take advantage of the then cyclical lows in the tanker markets.
Working closely with well established shipowners and fleet operators, investors have been able to participate directly in various secondhand acquisition projects in both tankers and dry bulkers.
After several successful years, in 2018, the division was restructured and effectively split in two; European Maritime Finance A/S was established in Denmark and the original trading division was rebranded SIPA Maritime.
The deciding factor for establishing the Copenhagen based headquarters was the growing client base in Scandinavia – and our ambition to accelerate the growth. Through a local presence, we are better suited to service clients throughout the Nordic region.

We offer projects of two main categories in shipping with different risk/return profiles;
