Stevedoring & Marine Cargo Handling in the US
Big ships set sail towards revenue
The outlook is good for the Stevedoring and Marine Cargo Handling industry, with high trade volumes, free trade agreements and investments, and demand for new ships expected to result in solid revenue growth. The continued trend toward larger ships and intermodalism to reduce port calls will also help drive demand for cargo handlers, thus it is of utmost importance that industrial disputes are minimized. Increased cargo monitoring to fight terrorism will also ensure the future remains bright for this mature industry.
Companies in this industry provide stevedoring and other marine cargo handling services, except warehousing. A stevedore is a company or individual, usually contracted by an agent, to load and unload cargo from a ship in port.
This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
