Fragmented market
The Handysize sector is highly fragmented, but our scale sets
us apart as a major freight provider able to offer reliability and
flexibility for customers while benefiting from scale economies
such as lower bulk purchasing costs and higher ship and fleet
utilisation.
Environmental considerations and regulation
Our drive for fuel efficiency ensures that emissions
concerns are aligned with our strategy, and our awardwinning
in-house technical operation ensures we meet all
regulatory requirements and industry best practices.

Market cycles and volatility
Our business model, know-how and understanding of
shipping cycles enable us to outperform throughout the cycle,
manage our balance sheet, and remain a strong and reliable
counterparty for our customers even in weak market conditions.
Limited supply of seafarers and shore-based talent
Our industry is challenged by a short supply of seafarers and
shipping executives, but the strength of our employer brand,
industry network and personnel function allows us to attract
and retain the staff we need. |
