Case study: Industrial investment strategic advisory
Challenge
To support the development of an investment strategy for the maritime sector for a national investment agency, Lloyd’s Register undertook a detailed examination of the maritime and shipbuilding market and associated value chain.
This would require an assessment of global market dynamics across the value chain to be undertaken in parallel with a deep dive into the local maritime market.
The solution
We conducted a detailed review and assessment of existing players and local market potential, including a full review of the country’s fleet requirements, and the potential impact of localisation policies.
An analysis of the local supply chain was undertaken at a component level identifying both existing players, and those with the potential to expand their product line. Key supply chain constraints were identified and options for addressing these were established.
The result
The focus on ‘where to play’ was identified and detailed execution plans were developed identifying ‘how to play’. Selected opportunities were taken forward for more detailed implementation planning and individual deals were identified. On an individual deal basis, partners were identified, investment requirements assessed, and investment prospectuses prepared for consideration by the client’s investment committee.
