Shipping moves most of the world’s trade, yet direct ship ownership was once limited to corporations because buying a whole vessel is capital intensive and illiquid. ShipFinex changes that. It tokenizes real ships into Maritime Asset Tokens, allowing investors to buy a ship fractionally and start a maritime investment with as little as US$1 000. Each vessel undergoes meticulous due diligence and is held by a Special Purpose Vehicle, ensuring compliance and investor protection. Investors complete KYC, create a wallet and choose from curated vessels to begin their shipping investment. Revenue from charters or freight is shared with token holders as dividends, and tokens can be traded on secondary markets for liquidity. By democratizing ship ownership, ShipFinex allows anyone to own a ship fractionally, diversify their portfolio and support a sector that transports 90 % of global goods. Regulatory approvals in jurisdictions like the UAE, Poland and Saint Vincent enhance trust, and some offerings (e.g., MT Top Grand) target returns of 7–9 %.
