Maritime

Charting a course in the maritime industry 

The maritime sector plays a crucial role in facilitating international trade, transporting approximately 11bn tonnes of cargo annually. However, it’s not just shipping that makes up global maritime operations, but also ports and harbours, business services, nautical engineering and leisure marine, together with cruise and ferry operations. But with changing market demands, vessel evolution in response to net-zero objectives and increasingly tight schedules, there's a need to adapt.

In response, stakeholders are taking action by expanding existing facilities – including associated strategic infrastructure such as warehousing, rail networks, roads, airports and terminal facilities. They're also adopting innovative technology to develop more efficient ships and facilities – including improving the energy efficiency of port infrastructure and shipping fleets and exploring sustainable fuels, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050.   

The focus is on creating a future-proof, efficient maritime sector that meets growing demand while addressing decarbonisation challenges.
