AMA Capital Partners, a boutique transportation and maritime focused investment bank, has formed a joint venture with Boston-based Skysail Advisors, an advisory firm specialising in the maritime technology space, a sector that has seen enormous merger and acquisitions over the past 12 months.
Evangelos Efstathiou, founder and managing director of Skysail, commented: “Over the past five years Skysail has seen a significant inflow of venture capital and private equity into the maritime technology space, driven by companies’ investments in digital transformation and decarbonisation. We have known the principals at AMA for a long time and see a great opportunity to combine their maritime capital markets expertise with Skysail’s unparalleled market intelligence and advisory services.”
The AMA and Skysail partnership will operate jointly out of AMA’s Stamford, Connecticut office and Skysail’s Boston, Massachusetts office.
