Event History
Now in their 9th year, Jane's Transport Finance Awards were established to recognise the immense effort and skill of financiers, bankers and lawyers working within the transport finance industry.
Awards are to be given in the aviation, legal, shipping, rail and road sectors with the winners each judged on a specific deal which demonstrates that their finance house or bank has shown particular innovation and skill in securing finance for transportation assets. The awards will be judged by a panel of leading experts and Jane's Transport Finance editorial team.
The Awards continue to recognise the immense effort, skill - and risk sometimes - which goes into structuring the shape of the global transport industry of tomorrow.
