Danish Ship Finance (DSF) is in good shape to weather the coronavirus crisis thanks to its tapping of new cash sources.

The lender, one of the biggest dedicated maritime financiers, issued its first non-Danish bonds for more than 50 years in 2019.

DSF said it banked €1bn ($1.17m) from two eurobond issues.

The company's management team pledged to continue to approach the Euro market "on a regular basis", although the Danish bond market will remain a primary funding source.
