Marine services are port-related operations carried out to provide secure berthing while moored or at anchor, as well as a safe flow of vessel traffic in port approaches and harbors. Marine port services include the receiving, handling, unloading, and even additional shipping of clients' products once they arrive at the port and come off the ship. Port services also provide an overview of the product at arrival and departure.


These services are crucial for facilitating international trade and the movement of goods via marine routes. These ports collectively ensure a smooth and safe flow of goods and people, making them crucial hubs for global trade and transportation. Surging seaborne trade and developing port infrastructure created a demand for marine ports and are responsible for the marine port services market industry forecast.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Decline in the Number of Investments In The Shipbuilding Sector Affected The Market Growth


COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the marine port services market share in 2020 and 2021. The global economy was unavoidably shattered, resulting in a significant decline in international trade. Due to low demand for transportation, liner firms decided to stop some routes to save money. The efficiency of cargo handling was reduced, and freight prices were risen significantly due to a loss in efficient transport capacity, port quarantine, and staff shortage.


It has been studied that investments in the shipbuilding sector were declining during the pandemic. The decline in shipbuilding services for different applications such as offshore service, maritime trade, maritime export, and others impacted the demand in the market of marine port services.


The steps taken by various governments and companies helped to improve the port operations and services. Key players started focusing on enhancements in port operations, automation and digitization of marine ports, and logistic-related services.


Governments revised the maritime transportation policies which includes the development of domestic fleets and domestic mariner capacity to maintain fluidity and strategic autonomy for supply chains.



  • For instance, In October 2022, the government of Australia created a task force to guide the establishment and operation of Australia’s maritime Strategic Fleet, which will strengthen the country’s economic sovereignty and improve national security.


LATEST TRENDS


Growing Focus on Reducing Emissions and Greener Ships is a Prominent Trend


Ports are increasingly adopting sustainable practices and green technologies such as shore power for vessels, renewable energy sources, and eco-friendly equipment to comply with regulations.



  • For instance, In September 2023, a plan for the first-ever trans-pacific green shipping corridor was unveiled by the Ports of Los Angeles, Shanghai, Port of Long Beach, and some of the world’s largest ocean carriers such as CMA CGM, COSCO Shipping Lines Co., Ltd., Maersk, and ONE. Other core partners include Shanghai International Port (Group) Co., Ltd., China Classification Society, and Maritime Technology Cooperation Centre of Asia.


The corridor will help to accelerate emissions reductions on one of the world’s busiest container shipping routes with the help of advanced technologies, decarbonization practices, and efficient management strategies to reduce carbon emissions in shipping and marine port services related activities.


The Green Alliance and Surfrider Europe Foundation launched the voluntary environmental certification program, Green Marine Europe Label, in 2020. The program encouraged ship owners and shipping companies to control their greenhouse gas emissions, oily discharges, and ship recycling to reduce the impact on marine mammals, making their ports ai fashioned a smart ship ports.


Thus, these technology trends are helping marine ports become more efficient, sustainable, and connected, allowing them to quantify evolving demands and increase global trade and logistics.

DRIVING FACTORS


Increase in Demand for Maritime Trade To Propel The Market Growth of Marine Port Services


The maritime sector plays an imperative role in the growth of the global economy. The market for marine port services is expected to expand due to the increase in global maritime trade. As per the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), approximately 80% of the world's trade volume is transported by sea and managed in ports globally.


As international trade grows, ports are important for facilitating the movement of goods between countries. Growth in maritime trade and transportation is expected to increase demand for port services such as terminal handling, chain and logistics solutions, cargo handling, and warehousing. Additionally, rapid growth in containerized cargo is expected to increase the need for container handling services and drive market growth. A report by UNCTAD stated that in 2021, around 840 million TEUs were handled by container ports worldwide, compared to 795 million TEUs in 2020.


Thus, rising shipping demand, a rapidly growing maritime sector, and increasing investments from governments in maritime projects are expected to propel the growth of the market.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Stringent Regulations by Several Regulatory Authorities to Restrict the Market Growth of Marine Port Services


Ports are often located in ecologically sensitive areas, and this industry faces increasing scrutiny regarding its environmental impact. Stricter regulations related to emissions, ballast, and other environmental concerns can lead to significant compliance costs for port operators. Other factors, such as air and water pollution and habitat disruption, can slow the port expansion process and hinder market growth.


Some regulatory developments were imposed, such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) 2020 regulation and the International Chamber of Shipping to reduce carbon footprints from shipping. Shipping lines should replace the fuel they use to operate engines. A global transition to a cleaner and greener maritime sector is underway and is expected to impact the shipping industry. Tightening international marine environmental regulations regarding greenhouse gas emissions, sulfur emissions, ship recycling, etc., are expected to restrain market growth.
