MPC Capital and Storm Capital Management have launched a new investment platform to invest in shipping assets across several market segments, with a focus on modern second-hand vessels.
The MPC Storm Maritime Opportunities (MSO) already has secured $35 million in its first fundraising round from a group of experienced investors with a strong track record within maritime investments. These high-tier investors include Klaveness Marine, Portline and Uthalden — all well-known players in the maritime world. This was underscored by MPC Capital’s and Morten E. Astrup’s significant co-investment in MSO.
The platform is seeking to raise more than $70 million and will target opportunities in dry bulk, tanker, container and offshore shipping, with exposure ranging from spot trading to long‑term charters.
“Together with close investment partners, we are taking the next step in institutionalizing and scaling our approach,” said Constantin Baack, CEO of MPC Capita
