Ports

The need for and growth of ports is driven by the trade flows resulting from the growing demand for energy and population growth.
Although the short-term outlook for world trade weakened in 2008/9, the underlying long-term fundamentals for continued growth in global port capacity remain positive.
Maritime transport is still the backbone of international trade with over 80% of world trade volume carried by sea. Global seaborne trade is expected to increase by 45% between now and 2020 and to double by 2030. Port facilities are being planned all over the world, in the shape of both greenfield investments and expansion of existing capacity.
