Skipsfinansiering

Skipsfinansiering is a product from Eksfin offering long-term loans ("langsiktig lån") and guarantees to international and Norwegian shipping companies ordering ships from Norwegian shipyards, or ordering from foreign shipyards with Norwegian ship equipment ("internasjonale og norske rederier som bestiller skip fra norske verft eller bestiller fra utenlandske verft med norsk skipsutstyr om bord"). Applications may be submitted by the shipping company, the bank, or the shipyard on behalf of the applicant.

Financing covers up to 80–85 percent of the shipbuilding contract value for Norwegian construction, or up to 100 percent of Norwegian equipment contracts for foreign construction. Eksfin typically covers between 50–70 percent of credit risk. A minimum Norwegian content of normally 30 percent of contract value is required. For loans, applications must be submitted before shipyard or export contracts are signed; there is no pre-signature requirement for guarantees. No total budget or maximum per-applicant amounts are stated.
