This report offers new insights into the maritime cities that offer the best policy measures, initiatives, and support. These cities excel in both soft and hard infrastructure, and boast elite talent to enable maritime companies and individuals to connect and prosper. Similar to previous iterations, the study benchmarks each maritime city on five pillars – Shipping Centers, Maritime Finance and Law, Maritime Technology, Ports and Logistics and Attractiveness and Competitiveness.

The study highlights the potential socio-economic impact of transitioning to zero and near-zero emission fuels and leveraging on digital solutions.

This new study outlines strategies for ports to become first movers in providing green methanol and ammonia bunkering. The report provides insights into the sources of green methanol and ammonia that could be available to the shipping industry and how ports can secure supply to meet the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) target of at least 5% use of zero-emission fuels by 2030.
This report focuses on the following Arctic Nations and regions: Alaska USA, Canada, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. This work does not include Russia. To better understand the trajectory of LNG uptake in a maritime context across the study region, this work first explores policy positions on natural gas in the study region, then describes LNG bunkering, trade, and infrastructure, and then identifies, discusses, and analyzes the Arctic-capable LNG vessel fleet.
While the experience with alternative fuels will at first be limited, the MTF guidelines outline actions for companies to develop new or strengthen existing SMS for alternative fuels on board their fleet. Companies should implement a structured risk management within SMS to proactively identify improvements and learn through non-conformities, accidents and hazardous occurrences related to alternative fuels, or through other companies or pilots.
Supply chains face constant disruptions like the Baltimore bridge collapse. Despite challenges, logistics adapt, seen in rerouting around the Red Sea disruptions. Political risks and regulatory uncertainties persist, impacting global trade. Investments in resilience, reshoring, and tech adoption rise amid declining inventories and supplier diversification.
