Working Across Sectors
Maritime
The maritime sector is dynamic and fast moving. It often demands the ability to move quickly to take advantage of an opportunity or to react to market forces. It is also a sector which puts relationships at the heart of everything.
By leaning heavily on its founder, Devandran Karunakaran, and his 20 years of experience in the maritime industry, DKC supports its clients by being flexible and versatile while understanding the importance of developing long lasting relationships. Whether it is introducing clients to sources of funding or potential sellers in order to execute an asset play strategy in a soft market or structuring and negotiating financings, S&P or joint ventures, DKC is on hand to offer value driven, bespoke services to its clients, to suit their exact needs.
Offshore Energy
As with the maritime sector, DKC leverages Devandran’s wealth of experience in the offshore energy sector. Devandran has executed advisory, introductory, structuring and negotiation functions on behalf of clients on some of Asia’s most high profile offshore energy projects including FSRU and FPSO projects.
As the world continues to rely more heavily on transition fuels as part of a greener future, DKC’s list of clients in the offshore energy sector extends to include advising government project sponsors and providing Introductory Services to oil majors seeking to supply the molecules.
Renewables and Transition Fuels
DKC has considerable experience in the nascent and evolving renewables sector. We don’t just advise companies and projects from afar. We have real experience of the issues and problems faced in the renewables sector, for example, sustainability issues around biodiesel feedstock and how to resolve those issues.
Through our Introductory Service, we work closely with oil majors and their trading arms looking to secure reliable, sustainable feedstock. DKC knows very well the country and commodity risks that are prevalent. We also advise the feedstock companies in terms of short, mid-term and long-term strategy. We structure joint venture opportunities and working capital solutions and negotiate with investment grade off-takers.
While the world moves towards achieving net zero, transition fuels such as gas will continue to play a big part in the world’s energy consumption make-up. DKC continues to be involved in onshore gas projects, including small scale LNG import terminals.
Lastly, leveraging off considerable experience in the offshore energy sector, DKC is becoming increasingly involved in the wind and solar energy sectors.
