Summary
In this final chapter, three major themes are emphasized: to develop an overall fleet perspective when it comes to a shipping company; strategy (with support from modern technology); to push toward more “asset-light” strategies, keeping in mind that traditional shipowning is normally rather asset-heavy; to strive for relevant innovations also in the future, by being even closer to key customers, and by proactively taking advantage of technological developments, climatic changes, and technology-driven managerial economic opportunities.
