Hong Kong: Hong Kong’s SC Lowy, a firm specialising in distressed debt financing, is looking at the possibility of entering into a joint venture with a shipping company. Speaking with our sister site, Maritime CEO, Soo Cheon Lee, the company’s co-founder, said a possible avenue of expansion for SC Lowy is to get involved in a JV as support and co-investor with a company that is restructuring debt and altering their model.
