Port congestion is intensifying across several major trading regions as container volumes outpace capacity growth and vessels spend an increasing proportion of their port calls waiting for a berth. This report examines the infrastructure, operational and commercial pressures behind the deterioration and considers whether port operators alone can be held responsible. Why we chose this report: The analysis provides useful […]
Container shipping emissions efficiency depends less on the fuel consumed during an individual voyage than on how effectively vessel capacity is deployed, filled and matched to the distance travelled. Why we chose this report: Based on data covering more than 86,000 voyages and 6,500 vessels, this report provides a detailed assessment of the operational factors shaping container shipping emissions. Its […]
The economic impact of ports on Canada’s West Coast extends across trade, employment, infrastructure investment and government revenues, with the country’s principal Pacific gateways contributing almost C$25 billion to national GDP in 2025. Why we chose this report: This report provides a detailed assessment of the economic importance of the ports of Vancouver, Prince Rupert and Nanaimo. Its analysis demonstrates […]
EU ship recycling facilities have sufficient capacity to dismantle the vessels currently reaching the end of their operational lives, but significant investment will be required before the expected surge in retirements during the 2030s. Why we chose this report: This report provides detailed analysis of European ship recycling capacity, the destination of EU-owned vessels and the expected increase in ships […]
India maritime fuel policy should initially prioritise green methanol as the country seeks to decarbonise shipping while reducing its dependence on imported energy, according to a new assessment of the competing fuel pathways available to the sector. Why we chose this report: This report examines maritime alternative fuels from a particularly useful strategic perspective, assessing not only their potential to […]
Shipping chokepoints are becoming an increasingly important source of risk for global trade and supply chains. This report assesses around 30 critical maritime passages, examining not only the volume of trade they handle but also whether vessels can reroute effectively when disruption occurs. It highlights the particular vulnerability of the Malacca and Taiwan Straits, the economic consequences of diversions around […]
Maritime decarbonization is progressing amid considerable uncertainty over global regulation, alternative fuels and future operating costs. DNV’s latest forecast examines how different regulatory scenarios could influence investment, energy-efficiency measures and the uptake of low-emission fuels through 2050. It finds that efficiency improvements and slower sailing could reduce fleet energy consumption by as much as 16% by 2030, while the number […]
China maritime strategy is expanding across the Bay of Bengal and the wider Indian Ocean through a growing network of ports, transport corridors, commercial infrastructure and naval access. This report examines how Beijing is seeking to protect vital trade and energy routes, reduce its dependence on the Strait of Malacca and strengthen its capacity to project maritime power. It also […]
UK ETS shipping requirements have applied to vessels operating on domestic UK voyages since 1 July 2026, adding another layer to the industry’s increasingly complex emissions regulatory framework. This report explains which ships, voyages and greenhouse gases fall within the scheme, who is responsible for compliance and how emissions must be monitored, verified and covered by UK allowances. It also […]
