Maritime financing framework

Maritime finance: distinguish SMFCL lending, MIF fundraising and interest support

The October update separates lending already sanctioned or disbursed from future fund-closing targets and operating interest-support arrangements. Maritime sponsors need to identify the financing instrument that fits their project, rather than treat the combined programme figures as immediately available capital.
