Capital Structured for Execution

Maritime investment
and execution platform

Structure. Execute. Repeat.

Commenda Capital originates shipping investment projects, structures the capital behind them, and remains responsible for execution. Our team works across traditional shipping and next-generation maritime infrastructure, applying the same discipline to both: clear risk allocation, aligned capital, and meticulous execution.

Deal Origination

We source and develop investment opportunities across shipping and maritime infrastructure.

Capital Structuring

We design capital around market and maritime realities — cycles, risk profiles, and execution requirements.

Execution Retained

We remain exposed beyond financial close, with decision-making authority and accountability through operation.

Flagship Partnership

Commenda Capital is the exclusive capital and project partner to DRIFT Energy, a next-generation maritime energy platform.

Who We Are

Commenda Capital is built on a simple principle: if capital cannot earn a return, change does not scale.

Shipping is entering a period of disruption. New technologies, new energy systems, new operating models—driven by decarbonisation and new regulatory demands. The ambition is real. So is the risk. Most ideas never leave the drawing board. Not because they lack vision, but because they cannot be financed, built, or operated in the real world.

Our role is to bridge that gap.

We connect ambitious maritime innovation with disciplined capital, and take responsibility for turning ideas into investable, executable projects. Without credible returns for investors, nothing moves. With the right structure, everything does.

Commenda Capital is led by Ulrik Uhrenfeldt Andersen and Michael Ebbe Hansen.

Commenda Meaning

INVESTMENT
PHILOSOPHY

Commenda Capital exists to bridge vision and investability. Returns are the test, not the intention.

Innovations and disruptions matter when they change economics: asset values, operating costs, competitive positioning. The same applies to conventional shipping. Opportunity comes from timing, structure, and execution.

We don’t pick sides between old and new.

We back projects that are financeable, executable, and resilient across cycles. In some cases, opportunity lies in innovation and new technology. In others, it lies in timing, structure, and disciplined execution within established segments. The source of return may differ. The discipline does not.

MODEL
IN
ACTION

As DRIFT Energy progresses from prototype toward commercial deployment, Commenda Capital’s role is to structure the transition from development to scale.

The partnership is designed to evolve as technical performance is demonstrated and execution risk is reduced. Structures adapt as projects mature and capital broadens. Execution determines the pace.
