We call it The Hospital Trust Leasing Corporation.

It's designed to take the sinking feeling out of the cost of marine equipment — everything from tugs, tuna seiners, fishing and lobster boats to huge floating derricks, oil tankers, and cargo freighters.

You see, marine financing is our business. And we can develop proposals on a true lease or lease-purchase basis, interim construction funding, funding under several governmental agencies, and through the Capital Construction Fund.

As an affiliate of The Rhode Island Hospital Trust

National Bank, (nearly $800,000,000 in assets) we can negotiate flexible lease arrangements and give you the kind of quick, deep financial back-up you. need.
