Download PortReport No 4 – Changing demand for maritime trades

Effective planning for transport infrastructures such as ports and their connections to roads, railways and inland waterways, requires foresight of what possible future maritime trade flows could look like. The future of maritime trade demand remains by nature uncertain. Due to the diversity in commodities transported at sea (oil, coal, iron ore, grain, general and containerized cargoes…), each trade could be subject to a specific analysis as maritime flows are affected by a large variety of factors, such the level of integration and of regionalization of the global economy, prospects on World population and GDP per capita as well as the future organization of Global Value Chains (GVCs). For maritime transportation, which is still a fossil-based industry, the diversification of energy supplies and transitions towards renewable energy will also have a significant impact on maritime trades.

PortReport No 4 by PortEconomics member Pierre Cariou discusses these elements and provide a holistic view of future maritime trades development.
