Maximising Trade Opportunities Through Future Proofing of Port Infrastructure and Whole of Life Asset Management Strategies

Despite Ports witnessing one of the most productive years yet, with 2019 seeing continued growth in container vessel capacity, and container traffic in Australian Ports rising by 2%, quayside revenue slipped to a new average low of 8.1%.

Now more than ever, it is becoming essential to combat this lack of return through higher efficiencies in marine structure design, development, and operations - starting with whole-of-life and future proofed asset management.
