# Maritime Strategies International Ltd

Maritime Strategies International is an independent market forecasting and strategic consultancy firm specialising in the global shipping and offshore industries. Established in 1986, MSI has spent over four decades developing deep expertise across all major maritime sectors, from dry bulk and container shipping to offshore operations and passenger vessels.

The firm serves a diverse clientele including financial institutions, ship owners, shipyards, brokers, investors, insurers, classification societies, regulators and accounting firms. They provide these clients with critical market intelligence to support investment decisions, risk evaluation and strategic planning in highly cyclical maritime markets.

MSI distinguishes itself through genuinely independent analysis untethered to commercial interests within the industry. Their approach combines comprehensive market data with proprietary forecasting models that simulate sector dynamics. Rather than offering generic reports, the firm delivers bespoke consultancy tailored to individual client needs, whether assisting private equity firms evaluating acquisition opportunities or supporting banks in assessing shipping asset-backed deals.

The business leverages two proprietary platforms to deliver insights. MSI Horizon is a cloud-based data and forecasting platform providing sector reports, valuation services and environmental credentials analysis, accessible via API integration. MSI Seascape serves as a vessel and fleet benchmarking tool, enabling clients to evaluate operational performance, emissions profiles and asset values against competitor vessels and cohorts.

This combination of institutional knowledge, analytical rigour and technology-enabled delivery has established MSI as a trusted advisor for navigating the complexities of maritime investment and strategy.
