Shipping industry

An industry sailing in troubled water

While it has been for years the hammering pulse of globalization, the shipping industry has been facing dramatic changes in recent years. For the first time, the shipping industry has stopped growing this year, and even more, it is declining. Shipping industry has always gone across cycles, but nowadays, things are changing for the worse: demand is shrinking, forcing companies to compete harder for existing and new customers, while dealing with overcapacity and consequently drop in prices. 

Navigating through those turbulent times requires companies to be quickly responsive to market forces and to continuously anticipate changes.
