What are the key KPIs in ship financing?

"The most critical KPIs in maritime financing include: Net Cash Flow, Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), Loan-to-Value (LTV), vessel utilization, charter rates (spot vs. fixed), and Operating Expenditure (OPEX). Together they determine whether a vessel can service its debt under various market conditions.

These KPIs are increasingly evaluated through scenario-based models that reflect market volatility — not just base-case projections. Lenders want to see that the project holds up under stress.
