Descriptiontext

Marine Money International, founded in 1994 and published by International Marketing Strategies, Inc. (IMS), a privately held Connecticut corporation, is a maritime finance media and intelligence platform serving shipowners, banks, leasing companies, export credit agencies, lawyers, and shipbrokers globally. The company's core offerings are organized around three revenue streams: (1) tiered membership subscriptions ($99/month Standard, $995/year Standard, $1,490/year Pro) providing access to a proprietary Deal Database with 20+ years of ship finance transactions, weekly market analysis, monthly deal roundups, quarterly magazines, conference archives, and a concierge service; (2) event sponsorships and delegate registrations across approximately 20 annual global ship finance forums in Greece, Korea, China, Singapore, Monaco, and Norway; and (3) publications including Marine Money Magazine, Freshly Minted, Marine Money Asia, Marine Money Green, industry reports, and books such as The Shipping Man and Dynasties of the Sea.

The underlying technology stack is a web-based platform (marinememoney.com) hosting a searchable deal archive, editorial content, a video/media library (Marine Money TV), and membership portal, with content manually archived and tagged across 30+ years. Distribution is hybrid: digital self-serve for membership and the OGSR database ($495/year covering 100+ ship registries), and in-person field sales via the global forum network. The company operates from Portland, ME (mailing) / Stamford, CT (legal) headquarters with a regional office in Athens, Greece (Marine Money Greece), and is led by President Matt McCleery alongside Managing Directors Mike McCleery, Andrew Oates, and Jon Chia. A small team of approximately 12 members supports editorial, events, finance, and subscription functions. The customer base is a narrow but high-value niche: major Greek shipping groups, Korean ECAs (KEXIM, KDB, K-SURE) and banks (BNK, Daol, Hanwha), Chinese leasing and banking institutions, and international law firms (WFW, Norton Rose Fulbright, Reed Smith, Stephenson Harwood) that serve as recurring Flagship sponsors across multiple forums annually.

Marine Money International is a privately held maritime finance media and intelligence platform serving shipowners, banks, leasing companies, and lawyers globally via 20 annual ship finance forums, a 20+ year deal database, tiered memberships, and niche publications.

What Marine Money does

Marine Money International, founded in 1994 and published by International Marketing Strategies, Inc. (IMS), a privately held Connecticut corporation, is a maritime finance media and intelligence platform serving shipowners, banks, leasing companies, export credit agencies, lawyers, and shipbrokers globally. The company's core offerings are organized around three revenue streams: (1) tiered membership subscriptions ($99/month Standard, $995/year Standard, $1,490/year Pro) providing access to a proprietary Deal Database with 20+ years of ship finance transactions, weekly market analysis, monthly deal roundups, quarterly magazines, conference archives, and a concierge service; (2) event sponsorships and delegate registrations across approximately 20 annual global ship finance forums in Greece, Korea, China, Singapore, Monaco, and Norway; and (3) publications including Marine Money Magazine, Freshly Minted, Marine Money Asia, Marine Money Green, industry reports, and books such as The Shipping Man and Dynasties of the Sea.

The underlying technology stack is a web-based platform (marinememoney.com) hosting a searchable deal archive, editorial content, a video/media library (Marine Money TV), and membership portal, with content manually archived and tagged across 30+ years. Distribution is hybrid: digital self-serve for membership and the OGSR database ($495/year covering 100+ ship registries), and in-person field sales via the global forum network. The company operates from Portland, ME (mailing) / Stamford, CT (legal) headquarters with a regional office in Athens, Greece (Marine Money Greece), and is led by President Matt McCleery alongside Managing Directors Mike McCleery, Andrew Oates, and Jon Chia. A small team of approximately 12 members supports editorial, events, finance, and subscription functions. The customer base is a narrow but high-value niche: major Greek shipping groups, Korean ECAs (KEXIM, KDB, K-SURE) and banks (BNK, Daol, Hanwha), Chinese leasing and banking institutions, and international law firms (WFW, Norton Rose Fulbright, Reed Smith, Stephenson Harwood) that serve as recurring Flagship sponsors across multiple forums annually.
