As purchasing behaviour evolves, supply chain stakeholders have found themselves in need to adapt to meet the demand of consumers. In such a dynamic landscape for maritime trade, strategic investment is paramount. But what drives investors in maritime & logistics?A great deal of investment in the sector takes place in the form of infrastructure expansion in ports and their connectivity to the hinterland by industry leaders to optimize operations and reduce vessel waiting times. Yet, the latest UNCTAD Review of Maritime Transport 2022 highlights as well the need to articulate investments with specific sustainability-led action points that increase resilience against future global crises and climate change. While the investment in port & connectivity infrastructure is the result of a horizontal integration strategy, vertical integration seems to be a trend that industry leaders are pursuing as well in the hope to increase their ownership of the supply chain.In such as dynamic market, industry players must look at different alternatives to remain competitive, both within and outside the sector. Nonetheless, whether the funding comes from the public sector, banks, venture capitalists, or maritime-specific investors, variables such as efficiency, visibility and ESG due diligence remain crucial when assessing the ROI.
