Stopford Martin, non-CEO (non-executive president) of Clarkson Research Services, looks forward to the global shipbuilding and shipping industry 50 years from now.
, he said that the shipbuilding and shipping industry is facing major problems, among which how fast the global transaction scale will grow is one of the keys.
, he said through the latest weekly report of Clarksons Platou that according to estimates, as the global population grows, or as the economy of non-OECD countries catches up with the speed of OECD countries, the average annual global trading volume in the next 50 years is expected to increase from the current 11 billion tons to 15 billion -37 billion tons.
Stopford also said that in addition to it, there is also a phased depletion of fossil fuels that can be considered, which will significantly change future forecasts. According to estimates, the total global ship investment is expected to reach US $1500 billion -4500 billion in the next 50 years (based on current ship prices).
, when he attended the "Nor-Shipping 2015" held in Oslo, Norway, he said that the shipbuilding and shipping industry needs to create a business model (Business Model) that can catch up with the good times.
to this, he proposed a response plan and said that in the past 20 to 30 years, the shipping industry (bulk shipping) business model is almost like gambling (gambling), to understand its outdated way. He also said that "information management" is one of the businesses that are showing positive results at the moment. Information has the advantages of low cost and easy access, and there are no barriers to realize globalization quickly.
