Market Potential

Shipping is a half-a-trillion US dollar industry, measured by the rates that freighters charge for their services. 90% of the world’s trade is carried out by the international shipping industry, which operates over 50,000 merchant ships.

The shipping industry’s continued and strong growth is fueled by the world’s rising demand for fast global transportation, to which the shipping providers are responding with competitive freight costs and growing shipping efficiency.

Each worth up to $200 million, modern shipping vessels are sophisticated high-tech assets on their way to becoming even more valuable to their owners. New technologies such as autonomous / unmanned ships, AI, and cloud computing are poised to revolutionize the industry while further driving down operational costs and increasing the providers’ profit margins.
