Own the fleet.
$OST is a single, closed-end, diversified ship-fleet token — with a NAV the shipping market sets, not us.
Shipping moves 80% of world trade — yet it's one of the least accessible asset classes.
- Vessels cost tens of millions — smaller investors are locked out.
- Positions are illiquid and opaque.
- Token-first projects with no assets or NAV beneath them collapsed.
One transparent token that represents a diversified, operating fleet.
Asset-first and proof-first. Investors get pro-rata exposure to the fleet's market NAV, run by established maritime operators — with value set by the market and computed by independent parties.
Built to be trusted
One token, a whole fleet
$OST is a single, freely-priced claim on the market NAV of a diversified fleet — tankers, bulk, and other tonnage. Diversification is built in.
NAV set by the market — not by us
Vessel values come from an independent broker panel (an expert S&P broker + VesselsValue) and an independent administrator. Operator ≠ valuer ≠ administrator.
Closed-end — no run risk
Capital stays in the ships. You exit by selling on the secondary market, not by forcing the fund to liquidate. No liquidity mismatch.
Transparent & honest
Live NAV and proof-of-reserves. Profit is retained into NAV (no dividend, compounding). We disclose the cycle — including the downside.
A diversified mandate
A target allocation by market NAV — a diversification mandate the fleet grows into over time.
Sourcing & valuation
An established S&P shipbroker (operating since 1997) handles sourcing and cycle-timing, and holds the expert seat on the independent valuation panel.
Operations
An experienced third-party ship manager runs technical & commercial management and chartering across the fleet.
What you actually own
$OST is a claim on the fund — not a deed to any single ship. Here is the chain, end to end.
You own a fund interest — a pro-rata share of the whole fleet's NAV. You do not hold any ship's title; each vessel's title sits inside its own Marshall Islands SPV. That separation is exactly what keeps your position liquid, diversified, and bankruptcy-remote.
Pro-rata
Your share tracks the fleet's market NAV — not one ship's fortunes.
Bankruptcy-remote
One vessel, one SPV. A problem on one ship is ring-fenced from the rest.
Diversified
A single token spreads you across tankers, bulk, and other tonnage.
We show the downside too
$OST starts at $1.00. Shipping is cyclical — the token can lose value in a weak market, and we show that openly. Illustrative, market-calibrated, 5-year projections:
Illustrative only, not a forecast. See disclaimer.
Closed-end, by design
The capital is in the ships and stays there — like a listed shipping company or a REIT. You exit by selling $OST on the secondary market; the fund is never forced to cash you out. NAV is set by the ship market and is immune to token selling.
Downside is defended near NAV by a market maker, live transparency, and an accretive, gated buyback — funded by surplus, never a forced redemption.
