Private credit for shipping,
structured on-chain.
As Basel IV tightens bank balance sheets and traditional ship finance retreats, Supro connects your charter-hire cash flows to a new pool of global stablecoin liquidity — faster, more flexible, and radically transparent.
Market context
Bank debt is shrinking. Private credit is filling the gap.
Traditional shipping banks — especially European lenders — have pulled back under Basel III/IV and post-crisis risk repricing. Alternative lenders, leasing houses, and private credit funds now provide a growing share of vessel financing, but small and mid-sized owners still struggle to access flexible capital on reasonable terms.
Supro is built for that gap: maritime-native, tech-enabled, and structured for owners who need funding that moves as fast as the market does.
Why Supro
Built by maritime and credit specialists — not a generic RWA platform.
Most on-chain credit protocols don't understand shipping. Most shipping lenders don't understand on-chain. Supro is engineered for both.
Flexible structures banks won't do
Bridge, mezzanine, and cash-flow-backed notes shaped around your charter book — not a rigid asset-heavy loan template.
New pool of global capital
Stablecoin LPs deploy into a regulated vault. You get access to liquidity that isn't rationed by any single bank's shipping quota.
Speed to term sheet
Digital underwriting on IMO number, flag, class, mortgage registry and independent valuation — weeks, not quarters.
Institutional-grade structure
Bankruptcy-remote SPV, receivables lockbox, equity pledge — the same protections institutional credit funds require, delivered natively.
The gap
Supro sits in a triangular white space no one else fills.
Between generic RWA platforms, traditional non-bank lenders, and small on-chain maritime experiments — there is a real gap for a purpose-built, credible operator.
Generic RWA platforms
Understand tokenization, but have no maritime credit expertise, no charter-hire data, and no SPV/lockbox playbook for shipping.
Traditional non-bank lenders
Underwrite shipping well, but can't tap on-chain liquidity or offer programmable, transparent settlement to global LPs.
On-chain maritime projects
Mostly whitepaper-stage or sub-scale, often built around fractional vessel tokens instead of real, contracted cash flows.
What Supro fills
A maritime-native ecosystem niche.
Purpose-built infrastructure that combines shipping domain expertise with credible on-chain structure.
- Maritime-specialist compliant issuance and custody
- Charter-hire cash flows first, vessel-mortgage notes as complement
- Singapore / Hong Kong legal architecture — leading maritime practice, mature financial regulation
