Moffatt & Nichol’s independent view of the target regions provided the client with qualitative market intelligence for a multiregional market study.
Moffatt & Nichol was engaged to develop a framework to assess the largest container terminals in Brazil. The assessment was underpinned by Moffatt & Nichol’s in-house Smart Analytics database and detailed knowledge of the regions in question.
At the time of the study, there were 17 terminals with a throughput in excess of 100,000TEU. Each terminal was assessed and scored in terms of whether it would be an attractive terminal investment, and whether the investment would be viable. This considered external market factors, terminal performance parameters and the overall ease of conducting business in Brazil.
The client also required an overview of the global container market, covering total volumes split by region, with an overview of the key trade routes that are served.
