Ship leasing industry has bright prospects for development: ship leasing industry is a rising industry in modern services industry, with advantages of huge power of driving economy, great capability of tax creation, improvement of industrial structure and promoting the development of related industries. Shipping industry and shipping transport industry make huge contributions to the development and improvement of the industry, but they need great financial support. Thus the shipping industry, shipping transport industry has closely relationship with each other. In the global shipping trade financing market, leasing accounts for a considerable proportion. Every year, the financial transaction volume related to shipping is as high as hundreds of billion US dollars, among which the shipping loans reach 300 billion US dollars, and the shipping leasing size reaches generally 70 billion US dollars. Its annual financing size is just lower than bank loans, amount to 1/4 of the bank loan size, which is much higher than the financing in capital market.

In the past, many China's shipping enterprises buy ships via loans or their own capital. However, this traditional financing way, on one hand, will lead to a tight cash flow due to occupy a large sum of money; on the other hand, bank loan will note this down to enterprise debt sheet, which both restrict the fast development of shipping enterprises. In order to deal with liquidity risk caused by financial risks, many shipping enterprises with acute insight continuously seek for new financing methods, and ship leasing emerges under these circumstances and becomes more and more popular.

Leasing is an effective way to adjust to shipping enterprises: throughout the entire shipping industry, it's not hard to find the industry is always lingering on a funny, conflict and vicious cycle. When the industry prosperity rises up, the transport cost begins to go up, then every shipping enterprise is about to crazily place orders to buy ships, which leads to over capacity for transport. Therefore, the industry prosperity begins to fall down, and the whole industry sinks in a loss situation. While when the industry prosperity goes up again, all enterprises want to expand their incomes and profits, then they begin to order ships again. It goes in a full circle.

Shipping enterprises should have forward-looking vision, tracking the market trend and precisely grasping the development tracks of shipping industry, then to adjust the development strategies in time and control the transport capacity size. Maintaining a stable and appropriate transport capacity can avoid losing heavily when the industry is in a downturn. When the industry in a rising period, enterprises can solve transport capacity via renting ships. Moreover, according to normal operational conditions, shipping enterprises can act as a leaser, making full use of resources and improving enterprise profits. Therefore, ship leasing is an effective way to deal with transport capacity problems for shipping enterprises.
