Rise of international seaborne trade

With globalization in full swing, international trade volumes have grown exponentially over the past few decades. A massive percentage of this cargo is transported via ocean freight through ships and vessels. Container ships, tankers, bulk carriers and other merchant vessels transport raw materials, parts, components and finished goods across continents. As global population rises and emerging economies industrialize at a rapid pace, demand for consumer and industrial goods increases steadily. This translates to higher cargo volumes handled by the shipping industry. New destinations and ports are being developed around the world to cater to this growth. Bigger ships are being constructed that require more powerful marine engines to achieve higher speeds and efficiencies. Naval architects are designing vessels that can navigate shallower drafts as well with manoeuvrability. All these developments mean enhanced demand for upgraded marine propulsion solutions that can deliver reliability, endurance, and optimized performance even in congested waters. Established shipping routes are also seeing increased freight densities necessitating faster turnaround times, again propelling the marine propulsion engine and equipment business.
