Optimizing cash flow management for ship financing leasing: Risk identification, risk assessment, and management strategies

Abstract

This study examines the risks associated with ship financing leasing businesses from a cash flow perspective, with the objective of identifying operational risks, optimizing financing structures, and addressing potential challenges in the shipping market. The study establishes an NCF (Net Cash Flow) measurement model tailored to the unique characteristics of ships as leased objects, providing a comprehensive analysis of risks stemming from the shipping market, operational management, and ship attributes. Through this case study-based approach, the study aims to develop effective risk management strategies, including risk mitigation and loss reduction measures, to achieve sustainable business development for ship financing leasing companies.
