Project summary

To accelerate its international growth and promote the adoption of its environmental technologies, Value Maritime secured export financing from Invest International. This support was provided through the SME Export Facility, a joint initiative by Invest International, fund manager OHV Vermogensbeheer, and export credit insurer Atradius Dutch State Business. The facility is designed to help Dutch SMEs execute smaller export transactions that often fall outside the scope of traditional financing. 

Value Maritime was one of the first companies to benefit from this facility, enabling it to expand its clean shipping solutions into new international markets. The financing has been instrumental in scaling operations and advancing the global maritime sector’s sustainability goals. 

This collaboration highlights the importance of tailored financial instruments in driving environmental innovation and supporting Dutch SMEs in the global economy. 

“Helping our export business to grow with new financing facilities allows us to dream bigger and better. Thanks to Invest International and their new facility for export SME financing, they are helping Dutch businesses like ours grow”, according to the Value Maritime team.
