Maritime industry stakeholders
Maritime industry stakeholders are individuals or organizations that play a role in the shipping and transportation of goods over water. Key stakeholders include shipping companies, port authorities, ship owners, cargo owners, freight forwarders, and maritime regulators. Each contributes to the efficiency and safety of maritime operations. Shipping companies operate vessels, while port authorities manage facilities where ships dock. Cargo owners are the businesses or individuals sending goods. Freight forwarders organize logistics, and regulators ensure compliance with safety and environmental standards. Together, they create a complex network that facilitates global trade and commerce across the world’s oceans.
