Maritime: the critical link for international trade
The maritime industry is vital to international trade and contributes significantly to the economic life of a nation. The latest challenge is making the industry cleaner, greener and less reliant on fossil fuels by exploiting new technologies and solutions, and Frazer-Nash is a key partner for many organisations on their journey to net zero. International shipping along with the world’s ports handle millions of tonnes of freight annually and it is imperative that the operations of ships, ports and the wider supply chain are as efficient as possible whilst meeting their net zero targets. Frazer-Nash Consultancy understands the critical nature of keeping things moving and offers a variety of services to keep maritime operations safe, efficient, environmentally sound and future-proof.
