CMS has a truly international team with an unrivalled track record of working on some of the most complex and innovative port projects in the UK and internationally.
The port sector is witnessing rapid growth and transformation.
A vast amount of maritime infrastructure needs to be built, rebuilt and/or retrofitted if ports are to support economic growth, sustainability and environmental considerations, operational efficiency and continued movement of people.
Currently around 90% of the world's international trade is transported by sea and this is set to increase. Ports are already highly sophisticated centres for trade and business and, as the world’s population expands, so the demand for sustainable goods and raw materials will continue to grow.
CMS supports a dynamic and complex ecosystem of stakeholders including port operators, developers, financial institutions, insurers and regulatory bodies, offering a full-service maritime practice with deep expertise across a wide team of experienced professionals.
The sector is breaking new ground as it responds to industry demands. At CMS we are uniquely placed to support collaboration between public and private sectors to address these challenges and to foster future innovation.
