Investments

Rivieran Capital Group manages a diversified portfolio to protect capital first and grow it second, so its holdings can be kept through the freight cycles that drive shipping.

Maritime Logistics

Rivieran Capital Group takes meaningful stakes in owner-managed businesses trading between Britain and Northern Europe. It holds a board seat in each for the life of the investment.

Ownership measured in decades.

Rivieran Capital Group answers to no outside investors, so its holding periods can run across generations.

We work alongside a small circle of operators and maritime advisers. We commit where our knowledge of the sector can strengthen a business.

We let the businesses we back speak for us.

Our Focus

An island economy lives by its ports.

Rivieran Capital Group invests directly in the businesses that move and store cargo on either side of the quay.

Short-Sea & Feeder Shipping

We hold stakes in operators whose vessels carry containers and bulk cargo between UK ports and continental hubs such as Hamburg and Rotterdam.
Port-Centric Logistics

We invest in warehousing and distribution at or near the quay, so cargo spends fewer miles on the road after it lands.
Maritime Services

We back firms supplying the technical and commercial expertise ships rely on ashore, from vessel management to marine software.

95%

of UK international trade passes through British ports
80%+

London's global ranking as a maritime centre in 2025

London is home to the International Maritime Organization, the UN agency that sets the rules for global shipping. It also hosts the Baltic Exchange, whose daily indices benchmark freight contracts worldwide. Being here keeps us close to the people who regulate and price the trade we invest in.

Private Office

Private wealth, managed from one generation to the next.

Alongside the portfolio, Rivieran Capital Group oversees succession planning and tax with a trusted group of lawyers and accountants. The office reports on every holding in a single consolidated statement and prepares the next generation for ownership.

How We Work

Wealth held in trust for those who come next.

Our word

We agree terms once and keep to them.

Shared decisions

Major decisions go before an owners' council and are recorded in a written charter.

Discretion

Our holdings stay private, and so do the details of our partners' businesses.

Giving back

A share of our shipping returns goes to the households of those who crew the ships.

Philanthropy

Featured philanthropic initiatives

Education for those who live by the sea.

Some of the charities we support have paid for the schooling of seafarers' children since the nineteenth century. Rivieran Capital Group adds to that work, and to learning on the coast itself.
