Dynamis Capital

What Dynamis Capital does

Dynamis Capital Pte. Ltd. is a Singapore-incorporated boutique alternative capital provider that operates exclusively in the maritime and offshore sectors. The firm structures tailored sale and leaseback financing transactions for vessel owners and operators, enabling it to offer competitive finance terms to clients who may be underserved by traditional bank lenders. Its stated client base is a vertical segment — companies requiring capital solutions for vessel financing and operations — and its go-to-market is a high-touch, direct enterprise field sales motion.

Underlying the capital provision activity is a proprietary technology platform that the firm describes as providing data-driven tools and analytics to screen, evaluate, and benchmark transaction characteristics. The platform is positioned as a source of competitive advantage and 'unique and scalable infrastructure,' although no external validation, benchmarks, or customer-facing product details are disclosed. Headcount is 8 professionals, of whom the two most senior are Managing Directors — Capt. Kaizad Doctor (former SVP at Oaktree Capital, with prior technical maritime experience at Tolani Shipping, Mitsui OSK Lines, and ExxonMobil) and Fredrik Ulstein (former SVP in Oaktree's European Principal Group, ex-DNB and Maritime & Merchant Bank, and former Chairman of Golden Energy Offshore Services ASA).

The business model generates revenue through transaction fees and returns on sale and leaseback investment activities, supported by access to competitive back-leverage. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed. No funding rounds, M&A activity, partnerships, regulatory actions, customer logos, or audited financial results have been disclosed; revenue and capital under management are not publicly reported. The firm markets primarily through its LinkedIn presence and direct relationship-driven sales rather than broad digital channels, and its operating scope is described as global despite a Singapore headquarters.

Broad incumbents

• ICBC Financial Leasing: One of the largest financial leasing platforms globally, with a dedicated maritime lessor business shipping and offshore. Comparable activity but vastly larger scale and state-bank backing.
• Oaktree Capital Management: Large alternative asset manager with a significant maritime principal and special-situations franchise. Both Dynamis MDs came from Oaktree, and Oaktree's European Principal Group is a template for a larger version of Dynamis's strategy.
• Avic International Leasing: Major Chinese lessor with a maritime aircraft and vessel leasing franchise, providing sale-and-leaseback solutions to shipping counterparties. Larger and broader but overlaps in maritime alternative capital.

Direct peers

• Seaspan Corporation: Large containership lessor with a sale-and-leaseback model and long-term charter contracts with major liners. Comparable business model and cash-flow profile, though at materially larger scale.
• Ocean Yield ASA: Norwegian publicly listed maritime lessor providing sale and leaseback and bareboat charters across container, offshore, and other vessel segments. Directly comparable as a maritime-focused alternative capital provider using sale and leaseback structures.
• Global Ship Lease: Public containership lessor that acquires vessels and charters them back to liner operators under multi-year contracts. Directly comparable sale-and-leaseback economics applied to the maritime sector.
• Costamare Inc. Public containership owner and lessor with a sizable sale-and-leaseback portfolio and long-term contracts with major liner customers. Comparable structure but with a more diversified operating fleet.
• Maritime & Merchant Bank: Norwegian specialist maritime bank that provides structured financing, sale and leaseback, and direct lending to shipowners. Fredrik Ulstein previously worked here, and the business model is closely aligned with Dynamis's maritime capital focus.

Emerging players

• Pangaea Logistics Solutions: Specialized dry-bulk operator and capital partner that has both owned vessels and structured sale-and-leaseback transactions. Comparable maritime-smart-capital orientation but with a more operational lean.
• Golden Energy Offshore Services: Listed offshore vessel company where Fredrik Ulstein served as Chairman. While primarily an operator, it represents the broader offshore capital ecosystem in which Dynamis competes for counterparties and deal flow.
