US Launches Joint Venture for Investment in Maritime Technology

AMA Capital Partners, a boutique investment bank focused on transportation and maritime, has formed a joint venture with Skysail Advisors, a Boston-based advisory firm specializing in maritime technology.

Skysail’s founder and managing director, Evangelos Efstathiou, noted the influx of venture capital and private equity into the maritime technology space over the past five years, driven by companies’ investments in digital transformation and decarbonization.
