Due to the financial crisis and the overcapacity, the KG model is no more attractive to the German ship owners. The Basel-3 regulation and stricter bank regulation affects the shipping finance sector substantially. The traditional capital source was no longer sufficient to attract the ship owners. The globalization, Chinese growth in the shipping sector will be a threat to the KG model of shipping finance.

The shipping finance sector requires a new model for sustainable investment solutions to the shipping industry.
