[HAMBURG] HSH Nordbank, the world's largest shipping finance bank, spent about three billion euros (S$5.05 billion) since 2011 to help clients order new vessels and modernise their fleet.

The bank financed 56 vessels a year, about half dry bulk carriers and the rest product tankers, car carriers and a few container ships, said Christian Nieswandt, global head of shipping for domestic clients.

"We have a strong interest in a modern fleet that is able to compete," Mr Nies-wandt told reporters in Hamburg, rejecting speculation that the bank stopped new ship financing.
