EXPERT TECHNICAL & TRADE DUE DILIGENCE
Black Quay are one of the world’s leading providers of both technical and trade related due diligence on port, freight and logistics related transactions.
We have been successfully involved in some of the world’s largest port sales and specialize in buy-side services, although we do also provide sell-side advice.
We are often well positioned for port sales having either been involved directly in the planning of the facilities previously, or having positioned for the work over time, helping to give our client’s a winning edge.
We are far removed from the generic engineering consultancies in our provision of advisory services and we have a reputation for both delving deep into technical matters for our clients and for providing innovative ways to mitigate risks, increase value offering and reduce costs.
We work intrinsically with our clients during deals, sitting with you and the wider team to help lift your proposal.
Our port planning expertise is almost always called for on both port and intermodal rail related transactions, helping to build a clear and reliable picture around capacity limitations and potential, capital and operational cost testing and analysis, advice on operations and staffing, detailed fleet profiling, equipment profiling, asset useful lives and conditions, as well as advice on external factors such as landside transport and competition.
There are no limits to the type of facilities we provide advice on, and although we are a well-known leader in container terminal due diligence, we have provided services on bulk, auto and cruise terminals as well. As a specialist consultancy, we offer only the most senior industry staff on deals at all times as we appreciate the risks involved, however our structure and fees allows our clients to reduce due diligence and bidding costs, often dramatically.
Black Quay also provides detailed short, medium and long-term trade analysis for container terminals, however we also work closely with other trade advisory consultants around the world and can form teams to suit your requirements.
