Maritime

Navigating the complexities of the maritime industry requires specialised industry knowledge. Our team is led by industry experts with hands-on experience, ensuring deep sector capabilities.

Our core services focus on Commercial and Technical Due Diligence, providing a comprehensive assessment of maritime projects for the financial and maritime community, including terminal operators, port authorities and public entities.

The Commercial Due Diligence services deliver in-depth market knowledge, competitor analysis, and demand forecasting across all types of port terminals and cargo types, including inland ports and Special Economic Zones. Our Technical Due Diligence services examine the physical and operational capabilities of ports, assessing infrastructure, equipment, and technology to determine efficiency, reliability, and expansion requirements.

Building on our due diligence expertise, we integrate financial modelling, risk allocation, and economic impact assessments to go beyond transaction services. Our team also develops Market Feasibility Studies, Business Plans, Cost-Benefit Analyses, PPP structuring, and long-term investment planning, helping both private and public stakeholders evaluate the financial and socio-economic profitability of maritime infrastructure projects.

With our holistic approach, we provide the critical intelligence needed for go/no-go decisions, supporting port expansions decision-making, acquisitions and new developments construction.

Our Approach
Maritime investments require niche shipping industry knowledge and experience – two things the Infrata team has in abundance.

Planning for value

Infrata’s advisory services are designed to target value for your maritime investment.

This involves applying our team’s broad sector knowledge to the specific needs of your investment. We’ll create bespoke paths to growth using the following methods:

  • Port traffic forecasting
  • Port revenue development
  • Operational analysis
  • Port planning and strategy
  • Capital and operational spending reviews

As always, we’re able to translate our technical proposals into clear commercial terms for our investors.

At Infrata, we take pride in the diversity of our marine projects to date. Not only have we worked all over the globe, but we’ve offered support to projects involving all kinds of maritime infrastructure, from inland waterways to water supply schemes.

One of the major benefits to our breadth of experience is the ability to understand the specific needs of your project. In the maritime sector, this often comes down to cargo, where our capabilities and experience span the following types:

  • Containers
  • Liquid and dry bulk
  • General cargo
  • Roll-on/Roll-off and ferries
  • Break bulk
  • Cruise

Infrata’s traffic reports and market analysis are key to determining which methodologies are best for a particular project. We’ll develop clear proposals and oversee their implementation.

For an example of our strong track record working with ports and container infrastructure, read about our work on the General San Martín Port Concession in Peru. We’ve worked as the Lender’s Technical Advisor since the bid phase, and are now following the $182 million project through to construction monitoring.
