Realising best value and optimised outcomes in the maritime sector
Global maritime sector operations span a diverse range of activities, including shipping, ports and harbours, maritime business services, nautical engineering and leisure marine, including cruise and ferry operations. International trade relies on containerised shipping, which transports some 11 bn tonnes of cargo each year – and on increasingly tight schedules.
Changing market demands and vessel evolution are driving the adaptation and expansion of existing facilities and associated strategic infrastructure hubs, including warehousing, rail, roads, airports and terminal facilities. To meet increasing demand, the maritime sector is continually challenging itself – and its suppliers – to provide cost-effective, future proofed infrastructure which enhances efficiencies and reduces operating costs.
Owners and operators are rapidly adopting innovative technology to support sustainable business objectives and are working with maritime and ship building industry organisations to provide more technologically advanced ships, storage vessels and associated facilities. The sector is innovating to respond to global decarbonisation challenges by increasing the energy efficiency of port infrastructure and shipping fleets. It is also exploring sustainable fuels to progressively achieve net zero by 2050.
