Maritime Markets

Well-targeted public and private investments require detailed knowledge of maritime markets

ISL assists companies and public institutions, for example, by developing market and competition analyses, transshipment forecasts and studies on maritime value creation and employment. 

In the course of our many years of activity and in close cooperation with our clients and partners, we have built up our own highly regarded databases. These databases fill a significant gap in the information available and are unique in this format: the Port Database, the Monthly Container Port Monitor and the Container Transport Model Europe

ISL's publications "Shipping Statistics Yearbook" and "Shipping Statistics and Market Review" provide a detailed insight into the maritime industry and its sub-markets including bulk shipping, tanker shipping and container shipping.
