Seizing opportunities - mastering risks
Our Maritime Competence Centre in Hamburg brings together experts from various fields - all of whom share a passion for the maritime industry. In Germany, we have around 120 experts on board working in strategy and transaction consulting, auditing and tax and legal consulting. In addition to Hamburg, we are also active in Bremen, Kiel and Schwerin. We support our clients not just in Germany but throughout the world. We are a leader in the global network of maritime services.
"Financing, decarbonisation and digitalisation all pose challenges to the maritime industry. As market volatility increases, the predictability of future market developments decreases. This results in both opportunities and risks for German shipping companies and other players in the industry. There is a need for forward-looking integrated solutions."
What we stand for
Our international network in the world of shipping
From cruises to container ships: shipping is international. We are therefore represented by experts from all disciplines at all shipping and shipbuilding locations around the world and always take local challenges such as regulatory requirements into account. In doing so, we always keep the big picture in mind.
- PwC Germany's Maritime Competence Centre has established the Shipping Meeting Europe.
- International collaboration on studies (such as on financing instruments and tax systems) and pitches for international clients (cross-border projects).
- Close cooperation with all major maritime locations within Europe and the network of experts based there.
The maritime world is our home. From shipping, shipbuilding or supply industry, ports and terminals, inland shipping and hinterland transport to financial sector institutions geared towards maritime investments: we will find tailored solutions to keep you on course.
