BMT’s new assessment tools for port investors and operators

The Port Choice Model and Port 360 evaluate the competitive advantage of a given port within its environment. Developed by BMT following years of academic research and professional consultancy, the tools uniquely apply both quantitative and qualitative methodology and measure a range of criteria as defined by leading economists and technical port experts.

With the growing complexity of the port sector, BMT recognised the need to assess competition with greater, critical scrutiny. Typical market share studies draw on historical market share data, distance, or travel time estimates, but BMT’s assessment tools are designed to take analyses a few steps further.

“What investors need to know today is how the distribution dynamics of cargo – from ocean to hinterland – will impact future profits,” said Dr. Richard Colwill, managing director, BMT Asia Pacific. “Ultimately we are looking to help clients invest wisely, and in today’s dynamic investment market this has never been more important.”
