Mergers and acquisitions is one of the most common ways for the companies that want a financial growth. Mergers and acquisitions are especially used in the shipping sector by firms that either want to expand in the global market or just want to maximize their profits. The purpose of this paper is to examine how mergers and acquisitions in the maritime industry affect the capital structure of the shipping companies. The data that are used are taken from well known databases such as Bloomberg, Thomson One and Yahoo Finance. There are presented 45 cases of mergers in the shipping sector. Those mergers are financial analyzed in order to figure out whether the mergers were profitable or not. Furthermore there are presented the results of the survey. There are presented the most important ratios of the shipping companies and a comparison between the year before and after the merger. Most of the companies that are in the survey are well known big and famous companies of the maritime industry. The results of this report are taken into consideration about the effects of M&As in the capital structure of the acquirer company. There is an examination of the debt and equity changes. However, there is no extensive survey in the M&As in the Shipping Transport Industry and therefore, this report attempts to give new evidences in this issue.
