Executive Summary:
Alislami Oceanic Shipping Company Limited (“AOSC”) is a Jebel Ali Free Zone company owned by Dubai Islamic Bank PJSC (“DIB”). AOSC has invested in three ocean going vessels, which have been given on lease to regional shipping companies for periods up to 6 ˝ years.

Investment Strengths & Considerations
The vessels are leased at pre-determined bareboat charter rates and the prices at which they will be purchased by each lessee at the end of the lease are pre-agreed, which provides certainty of income and redemption. The lessees’ guarantors are financially strong shipping companies and the vessels are modern assets with expected working lives considerably in excess of the lease periods.

The return on the Investment Units is dependent on the income derived from the leases of the vessels. The relevant investment considerations are as follows:

1. Stability of the shipping market
2. Solvency of the vessel lessees (and their guarantors)
3. Existence of senior priority liens on the vessels
