Applications 

Using our unique methodology we are able to provide forecasts in a number of areas which are either poorly served with generalised projections or do not specifically identify and factor in the key economic drivers for trade in the specific area. In addition, we refine all model projections through a process of research to identify any factors that might influence future trade volumes.

· Port traffic flows by commodity and/or cargo type
· Number of ships calling at a range of ports (derived from cargo projections)
· National port traffic flows by commodity and/or cargo type
· Regional port traffic flows by commodity and/or cargo type
· Inland transport requirements derived from traffic flow forecasts.

In addition to our own staff, we have agreements with a wide range of corporate and
independent consultants covering all disciplines with whom we are able to offer a complete range of consulting services related to port traffic forecasts, including but not limited to: 
  

• Financial analysis and planning
• Port engineering
• Navigational issues
• Risk analysis
• Port planning and training
• Forecasts of freight rates
• Forecasts of ship supply
• Ship demolition forecasts

Due Diligence and Audit
 
Due to the comprehensive nature of our approach we are able to offer ancillary
services to main project teams. In particular we:
 

• audit and/or critique the forecasting methodology used by other forecasters
• provide updates to forecasts included in reports produced by other analysts.
