Shipfinex_Intern- we are hiring!

India’s maritime economy already carries most of the country’s trade by volume. The opportunity now is to strengthen the financial infrastructure around the assets that make that trade possible. 🧵🧵

Wider access to maritime assets only works when the economics, structure and risks of the vessel remain clear. In a new Q&A with @container_news our Founder & CEO, Capt. Vikas Pandey (@pandey_vikas_) , shares his perspective on widening participation in vessel investment, 🧵🧵

What if the asset you understand best is the one your portfolio has never given you a practical way to participate in? Many maritime professionals spend decades understanding vessels, freight cycles, operating economics and asset values, 🧵🧵

India’s maritime ambition brings a practical question into focus: how can financial infrastructures support the vessels that carry its trade? 🧵🧵

A meaningful step in testing how new financial infrastructure can work around real maritime assets. Shipfinex’s Limited Use Authorisation from @IFSCA_Official provides a monitored framework at @GIFTCity_ to test maritime asset tokenization across financial processes, 🧵🧵

Understanding a maritime opportunity starts with the vessel and extends across the full transaction. Its commercial employment. Its operating requirements. The rights described in the legal documents. The responsibilities of each party. 🧵🧵

The evolution of maritime finance brings shipping experience, financial expertise and public policy into the same conversation.🧵🧵

Financial innovation gains strength when it can be tested within a clear framework, building confidence in how the model can perform at scale. That is the role regulatory sandboxes play across leading financial centres. 🧵🧵

Maritime ambition becomes more durable when capital, assets and industry capability grow together. That was the thread we carried through @ShipTek Dubai 2026. 🧵🧵

An important step for Shipfinex at @GIFTCity_ 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗜𝗙𝗦𝗖𝗔 (@IFSCA_Official) creates a monitored framework to test maritime asset tokenisation across real financial processes, controls and reporting. 🧵👇

Maritime assets are large, productive & globally relevant. The question is how efficiently capital connect with them. The Shipfinex | @ADIChain_ collaboration is focused on that gap, bringing maritime assets, financial infrastructure & a broader capital network closer together.

Maritime finance works best when capital stays close to the realities of the asset. That was one of the themes we carried into 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗧𝗲𝗸 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲. 🧵

What changes when more people can participate in the economics of maritime assets? For 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘁. 𝗚𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘃 𝗖𝗵𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗮, India’s scale, entrepreneurial base and familiarity with technology create an interesting environment for wider participation in shipping. 🧵

New financial infrastructure around maritime assets has to be tested against the realities of the asset itself. Shipfinex has received a Limited Use Authorization from IFSCA (@IFSCA_Official ) as a FinTech Sandbox Entity within the FinTech Innovation Sandbox at GIFT City. 🧵

At ShipTek International Conference & Awards Singapore 2026, Capt. Vikas Pandey, Founder & CEO of Shipfinex, will speak on: “A Regulated Financial Evolution of the Maritime Industry.”

How much room will today’s fleet financing leave for your next opportunity? A financing structure can serve a shipowner well today and constrain their ambitions tomorrow. The flexibility to act when an opportunity emerges should carry real weight in the decision. 🧵🧵
