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.
