"This acquisition aligns with our vision to deliver unparalleled maritime transportation systems in support of the maritime industry's transition to a zero-carbon and sustainable future."

"We're pleased to partner with Purus Marine to fuel transformation in the maritime sector, and we look forward to future opportunities to work together as they continue to grow and evolve within the clean energy space," said Evan Cohen, Managing Director and group head of Maritime Finance.
