IN ACTION

In 2024, shipping has had to rise to the challenge of increasing disruption and complexity

The drive to emission reduction has created a need for fuelling transition; new advanced technology has enabled enhanced risk management, improved efficiency and data-led decision-making; and geo-political shifts and climate change have created focus on energy and food security irrespective of changing trade flows and other disruptions. But navigating change and complexity is what we do best.

EMBRACING COMPLEXITY

Managing Change

Disruption events are increasingly changing the course of international trade, but the flow of resources and goods must remain resilient. From adverse weather patterns to human conflicts, regional politics to global pandemics, we help our clients navigate and overcome complex challenges. We do this every day, joining up our local presence, deep expertise and understanding of global events.

Empowering Action

Striving to reach net zero by 2050 is an ambitious yet essential goal. The green transition in shipping is moving towards alternative fuels and more efficient technology, driving an unprecedented fleet renewal programme. Complex emissions regulation must be understood, as must changes in the financial landscape. And the energy transition is powering opportunities in offshore wind. Every day, our clients face the huge opportunities and challenges that drive their energy transition strategy. We help empower them to act proactively and with confidence.

Protecting Integrity

Growing geo-political tensions. An increasingly complex sanctions regime. Compliance, regulation and the threat of corruption. Tackling this is our everyday. That’s why we’ve made the deep investments in people, processes and technology needed to manage and facilitate trade against the backdrop of a rapidly changing geo-political and sanctions environment.
