If you like a little more risk in your equity investments, Jan Hakon Pettersen and Garup Meidell, formerly of Bergesen Worldwide, have formed Gaia Maritime AS, as a pure asset play on the recovery of container shipping asset values. Through a private placement, led by DnB NOR, Fearnley Fonds, and Pareto Private Equity, the company hopes to raise NOK 300 million to NOK 600 million (approximately$50 to $100 million). The founders will invest $1 million themselves. Proceeds will be used to purchase new containerships and for working capital. Following the offering, the company intends to list the shares in June on the Oslo Axess.
