Alpha Bank Cyprus<\/strong> participated as a sponsor in the 9th Capital Link Cyprus Shipping Forum <\/strong>in Limassol, placing the bank at the centre of discussions on the future of shipping finance.<\/p>\n

The event was organised under the auspices of the Deputy Shipping Ministry of Cyprus<\/strong> and brought together leading executives from shipping, the banking community and capital markets.<\/p>\n

Discussions focused on developments in international shipping finance<\/strong>, regulatory and geopolitical changes, as well as challenges arising from the energy transition<\/strong> and increased compliance requirements.<\/p>\n

At the panel entitled \u201cCapital at Sea The State of Ship Finance\u201d, Alpha Bank Cyprus was represented by Nikolaos Kagarakis, Shipping Finance Senior Relationship Manager of the Alpha Bank Group.<\/p>\n

During his intervention, Kagarakis analysed the current state of the shipping finance market, stressing that the environment is becoming more demanding, with a higher cost of capital<\/strong> and stricter assessment criteria.<\/p>\n

Particular emphasis was placed on the importance of sustainability-linked financing<\/strong> and transition targets, as compliance with environmental standards now directly affects the structure, pricing and availability of capital.<\/p>\n

The discussion highlighted resilience<\/strong>, fleet quality<\/strong> and strategic adaptability<\/strong> as key factors in securing access to financing in the coming years.<\/p>\n
