The Team
Bill Eadie
Bill has worked in the port sector for 40 years and has over 30 years experience in trade analysis and port traffic forecasting. He has developed a unique methodology for forecasting traffic flows at the port, national and regional level using advanced statistical techniques that have been used in a wide range of projects worldwide over that period as part of consultancy projects. This model has been adapted and extended by the team to add stand-alone use and ‘what if’ capacity.
Bill’s economic and financial appraisals of port development projects have also incorporated ship cost models and berth optimisation techniques, together with risk analysis for the identification of optimum project selection. He was a founding partner in 1985 of Baxter Eadie Ltd. a UK based port consulting business that was acquired by BMT in 2007.
His previous experience includes working as a mathematical statistician in the chemical and electricity industries, in CERN (the international high energy physics laboratory), and in the public sector in the UK Department of Energy, and as Chief Statistician for the National Ports Council.
Alan Goldman
Alan has over 40 years experience in the maritime sector. He has worked on a wide range of port and trade development projects over the past 25 years, all of which have involved projecting traffic flows. In more recent years he worked with Bill in developing forecasts for a number of potential port development projects.
Alan's background is in operational and commercial management in Liner shipping where he was a Director of a UK liner company, and in the Information Services sector, where he was C.E.O. of Lloyd's Maritime Information Services and Managing Director of MaritimeData. In addition to knowledge of trade and traffic forecasting he has broad experience of all sectors of the shipping industry, including intermodal issues, ship operations, business development, maritime policy, regulatory issues and freight markets.
