Shipping Feasibility Studies

Additional Details

A well-researched and well-written feasibility study is critical when making "Go/No Go" decisions.

A Feasibility Study is a process which defines exactly what a project is and what strategic issues need to be considered to assess its feasibility or likelihood of succeeding. Feasibility studies for Ports & Shipyard are useful both when starting a new business, and identifying a new opportunity for an existing business.

The maritime industry as well as it’s investors have realized the importance of a feasibility study as it serves a number of objectives. For several reasons clients approach us to conduct a feasibility study. Some of which are:

Identifying strengths as well as sizing bottlenecks in making a business idea work

Identify critical issues that affect the go/no-go decision

Develop appropriate strategy and make a credible representation to banks, investors and private equity players

Serve as a foundation for business planning and corporate strategy

We work with clients to formulate strategies that take advantage of the opportunities presented in highly uncertain business environments.
