Anchor Ship Partners has just celebrated a decade since it began as an independent ship investment fund to finance newbuildings and other long-term projects for Japan’s leading ship operators.
It is currently on its fourth fund, having raised and spent ¥590bn ($5.4bn) on 48 ships so far, including a total of 19 ultra large containerships to be operated by newly formed Japanese line Ocean Network Express, or ONE as it terms itself.
