After the podcast on German ship finance I made two weeks ago [1] I have come across another German platform because of an pretty extensive interview in BTC Echo [2] and some other news in German media [5]. It turns out that those guys have been around for a while, there was a very good article on them in February [3] and an even earlier one last October [4], so it might well be that this is part of a concerted media push.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE, I HAVE NO VIEW AS TO WHETHER THIS IS A GOOD INVESTMENT OR NOT, AND I AM IN NO WAY RELATED TO THAT PARTICULAR ISSUANCE. What I found interesting was that (a) there are two retail-focused German shipping offerings in the news, the one I talked about recently [1,8-11] and this one [6,7], and they have chosen markedly different investment structures.
