Ports & maritime
Navigating complexity, driving sustainable growth.
The maritime industry is the backbone of global trade and connectivity, playing a crucial role in the economic growth of countries and regions. Ports and shipping networks form vast, integrated ecosystems that include urban and trade centres, inland multimodal transport, and international markets.
The sector is evolving rapidly, facing regulatory pressures, geopolitical shifts, and the urgent need for decarbonisation. Yet, despite these challenges, investment in ports and maritime infrastructure remains strong, with opportunities for innovation and transformation.
