    Minimize capital investment upon ship introduction: Securing high-priced ships by paying a small fee, such as the initial rental fee
  • Flexible fleet management : lessening standby period for profitable shipping routes
  • Standby period minimization: Securing necessary ships within a short period of time without waiting for construction period (order → delivery)
  • Solution to resale value risk: Avoiding ship price fluctuation risk by returning ships at the end of a lease period
