The shipping and water transport sector is crucial to the free flow of goods across the globe. However, with consumer habits shifting and protectionism and tariffs threatening cross-border trade, companies operating in this industry face many risks and opportunities alike. They also have to respond to new regulatory challenges, as the drive to decarbonize the sector is resulting in new investment needs.
