Challenges and requirements

Globalisation has long been a basic condition for maritime actors. Transport customers' demands for cheap, safe and timely delivery must be met in a market characterised by rapidly changing costs and increased regulation, particularly with respect to environmental and safety issues. Even marginal advantages may ensure success for a company over its competitors and it is therefore crucial that the company operates within the proper corporate and tax structures. International collaboration governed by agreements and conventions involving many participants dominates the field and, consequently, targeted advice is necessary to safeguard the positions of the individual actors.
