Shipping decarbonisation is reshaping global trade routes, and green fuel bunkering is emerging as a strategic opportunity for North Africa. The report argues that Egypt and Morocco are especially well placed to supply green fuels, modernise ports and benefit from stronger maritime climate policy. Green fuel bunkering is becoming a major opportunity for North Africa as shipping decarbonisation gathers pace […]
China shipbuilding remains dominant as the global shipbuilding cycle strengthens on aging fleets and demand for low-carbon vessels. Despite US efforts to rebuild capacity and counter China’s rise, Chinese yards are expected to retain strong market share through their cost, technology and financing advantages. China shipbuilding is expected to remain highly competitive as global demand for new vessels grows, driven […]
Port performance patterns shifted across 2025 as anchorage delays, berth times and emissions varied widely by vessel size and region. The report shows smaller vessels faced longer anchorage waits, while larger ships spent less time waiting but longer alongside at berth. Port performance across the global container network remained uneven throughout 2025, with major differences emerging by vessel size, vessel […]
Strait of Hormuz shipping crisis is pushing marine fuel costs sharply higher as the waterway’s closure disrupts oil, gas and fertiliser flows. The report argues the shock exposes shipping’s fossil-fuel dependence and strengthens the case for electrification, efficiency measures and e-fuels. The Strait of Hormuz shipping crisis is exposing how vulnerable the maritime sector remains to geopolitical shocks and fossil-fuel […]
Hydrogen-fueled ships are moving from niche demonstrations toward wider commercial use, but their adoption depends on solving storage, leakage, ventilation, and explosion-risk challenges. The report shows that CH₂ and LH₂ systems demand stricter enclosure, inerting, and fuel-handling measures than LNG-based ship systems. Hydrogen-fueled ships are gaining momentum as maritime decarbonisation pushes operators beyond conventional fuels, yet their safety case is […]
Global trade outlook projections for 2026 point to slower merchandise and services growth as conflict in the Middle East pushes up energy costs and disrupts transport routes. Continued strength in AI-related trade is helping offset some of the downside pressure on the global economy. The global trade outlook for 2026 has weakened as higher oil and gas prices, shipping disruption […]
Global trade is proving resilient as supply chains adapt to rising risks on key shipping routes through rerouting, diversification and longer-haul connections. The latest data suggest global trade continues to expand even as maritime networks face mounting geopolitical pressure. Supported by the report’s findings that trade grew strongly in 2025 and flows are traveling longer average distances rather than retreating. […]
A Strait of Hormuz closure would disrupt global oil and LNG flows, pushing up energy, chemical and food prices across multiple markets. The report highlights how the shock would hit import-dependent developing economies hardest through fertilizer shortages and rising food security risks. The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints, and this report shows how […]
Green ammonia is moving closer to commercial viability in shipping as fuel production scales and carbon pricing begins to reshape vessel economics. The report shows green ammonia could compete with conventional marine fuels under the proposed IMO framework, especially on longer-term operating costs. Green ammonia is emerging as one of the most credible low-emission fuel options for deep-sea shipping as […]
