German term or phrase: Langfrist-/Endfinanzierung
Taken from a brochure for a bank that specialises in financing the shipping industry. This specific section refers to their traditional loan services. I'm quite confused by the sentence in general - "Anwendung" I have translated as "purpose", though I'm not sure even that is right (hopefully it will fall into place once I know what these terms are)

Anwendung eines erstrangig oder nachrangig besicherten Kredits ist eine Langfrist-/Endfinanzierung, die wir Ihnen für ein bereits fertig ausgeliefertes Schiff zur Verfügung stellen. Die Laufzeit beträgt hierbei in der Regel 10-15 Jahre.

Thanks in advance

long-term/post-delivery financing
Explanation:
For your info, *Endfinanzierung* has been the subject of two previous questions (also in a shipping context):

I don't think the answers given there are satisfactory though.

As far as I can tell, *Endfinanzierung* in the shipping industry means financing for the operation of ships and is often opposed to *Bauzeitfinanzierung* which refers to financing during construction. See the following EU-document in English and German (you can change the language in the drop-down menu):

GER: Der Schiffbausektor ist auf eine sichere Finanzierung sowohl während des Baus (Vorfinanzierung) als auch **während des Betriebs von Schiffen (Endfinanzierung)** angewiesen. Viele Banken verlieren jedoch das Interesse am Schiffbau. Die Kommission schlägt deshalb vor, dass die Europäische Investitionsbank die Vor- und die Endfinanzierung unterstützt.

ENG: The shipbuilding sector needs substantial financing for both the construction phase (pre-delivery) and the **operational phase (post-delivery)** of the vessel. However, many banks are losing interest in shipbuilding. The Commission therefore proposes that the European Investment Bank support pre- and post-delivery financing.

You'll get a lot of pertinent hits for "post-delivery financing" in shipping, for instance here:

But you still need to deal with the weirdly constructed German sentence. I guess you'll need to rephrase, something like:

*Through loans covered by primary or excess insurance we provide long-term/post-delivery financing for the operation of vessels after construction.*

...sorry, the last phrase shouldn't read *for the operation of vessels* but rather *during the operational phase*.

Post-delivery financing is used to finance the acquisition cost of the vessel, see the following:

Zweitens können so genannte „Endfinanzierungsbürgschaften“, deren Laufzeit zwölf Jahre nicht überschreiten darf, für Kredite zur Finanzierung des Kaufpreises des fertig gestellten Schiffes an Reeder gewährt werden.
