Investor Protection at Shipfinex

Why Investor Protection Matters More Than Ever

The maritime industry moves $14 trillion worth of goods annually, yet until now, owning a piece of this massive opportunity was reserved for institutional investors and ultra-wealthy individuals. Shipfinex is changing that narrative by making fractional ship ownership accessible to everyone.

But here's what we know: accessibility without security is meaningless.

As we pioneer this new asset class, we understand that your biggest concern isn't just the potential returns; it's whether you can trust the system that makes it all possible. Before anyone owns a piece of a ship, they need absolute confidence in the platform, the process, and the protection measures that safeguard their ownership.

That's why we've built Shipfinex with security at its foundation, not as an afterthought.

Legal Frameworks: Security by Design

Ring-Fenced Asset Protection

Every ship on our platform operates within a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) structure. This is your financial firewall. Each vessel is placed in its own legally distinct SPV, and your tokens represent actual legal shares in this SPV, recorded in the corporate register. This means your assets are completely ring-fenced from business liabilities, so if operational issues arise, your ownership is safeguarded.

Global Regulatory Compliance

The Shipfinex platform maintains full KYC (Know Your Customer) compliance across all jurisdictions, while Anti-Money Laundering (AML) protocols protect the entire ecosystem. We adhere to international maritime and financial regulations, and our regulatory partnerships ensure we stay ahead of evolving compliance requirements. This is about building a platform you can trust with your ship ownership.

Smart Contracts & Blockchain: Technology That Enforces Trust

Immutable Ownership Records

Your ownership is permanently etched into blockchain technology. Every transaction is recorded immutably on a secure blockchain, which means ownership records cannot be altered, deleted, or disputed. This complete transparency means you can verify your holdings anytime, anywhere.

Automated Revenue Distribution

Gone are the days of waiting for manual payments or wondering about your returns. Smart contracts automatically distribute earnings from ship operations, with revenue flowing directly from charter payments to token holders. There are no middlemen, no delays, no human error just transparent, automated distributions.

ERC-3643 Compliance Standard

We use the ERC-3643 token standard, the gold standard for compliant security tokens. This ensures regulatory compliance at the protocol level, with built-in transfer restrictions that protect both investors and the platform while maintaining the highest security standards.

KYC Verification: Your Gateway to Secure Investing

Every investor goes through comprehensive KYC verification because security starts with knowing who's in the ecosystem. Our mandatory verification process includes identity verification to prevent fraud and ensure regulatory compliance, financial suitability checks that protect both you and other owners, and geographic compliance to ensure we operate within legal frameworks. This rigorous process is about creating a secure environment where every participant has been verified and approved.

Custody & Control: You Own, You Control

Self-Custodial Wallets

Your ship ownership means your complete control. Shipfinex cannot access your tokens or funds because you maintain complete control through your self-custodial wallet. Your private keys remain private; we never have access, and you decide when and how to move your assets.

Direct Revenue Control

When your ships generate revenue, payments flow directly to your wallet without any intermediary holding or controlling your earnings. You have immediate access to your returns with full transparency in every transaction.

Third-Party Validation & Strategic Partnerships

Independent Audits & Verification

We don't ask you to take our word for being transparent. Every vessel on our platform undergoes third-party vessel valuations by reputed maritime experts, with independent verification of all ship documentation and operational history. We also conduct regular audits of our smart contracts and security protocols to ensure everything operates exactly as promised.

Strategic Partnerships That Validate Our Approach

Our partnerships are endorsements of our security model. Our Tokeny partnership provides compliant tokenization infrastructure, while our BCG collaboration validates our strategic approach to maritime digitization. Our participation in regulatory sandboxes demonstrates our commitment to compliant innovation, and these partnerships mean industry leaders have vetted our approach and found it worthy of their reputation.
