Sale & Purchase

Building a vessel is a long-term commitment. Getting the specification, the yard and the timing right determines the return.

Riverlake supports clients throughout the full new building process, from the definition of vessel requirements and technical specifications to commercial structuring and contract finalisation.

We work closely with shipyards, owners and charterers at every stage, from initial design discussions and yard selection through to final agreement and order placement.

Our teams provide continuous market insight on vessel types, specifications and pricing conditions across both inland and deep-sea segments, ensuring informed decision-making at each critical step of the project.

Every vessel has a final voyage. Executing it well is a matter of compliance, timing and the right counterparties.

Active in the recycling of end-of-life tonnage, our teams work with independent owners and major operators alike, bringing the experience and network to act decisively when it counts.

We facilitate access to recognised recycling facilities and manage the full commercial and contractual process, including coordination with approved counterparties across multiple jurisdictions.

Transactions are handled with full alignment to applicable international regulations and industry standards and closed with the efficiency the market demands.
