Introduction The Transportation & Logistics industry forms the back bone of global supply chains. The shipping industry plays a dominant role as 90% of world trade is seaborne. Without shipping the import and export of goods on the scale necessary for the modern world would not be possible. There are around 50,000 merchant ships trading internationally, transporting every kind of cargo. The world fleet is registered in over 150 nations, and manned by over a million seafarers of virtually every nationality. Ships are technically sophisticated, high value assets (larger high-tech vessels can cost over USD 150 million to build), and the operation of merchant ships generates an estimated annual income of over USD 380 billion in freight rates, representing about 5% of the total global economy. PricewaterhouseCoopers’ (PwC) Shipping & Ports practice has grown in step with the industry, supporting our clients through industry restructurings, regulatory transformations, technological advances and changes in financial reporting and corporate governance requirements. Our experience and network of dedicated shipping industry practitioners positions PwC to provide clients with quality audit and professional services uniquely tailored to large, global shipping and ports organisations. We have developed our Shipping and Ports expertise through working with the leading shipping and port companies in the world.
