Description

Description

The article discusses the long-term demand for project cargo and breakbulk capacity driven by data center construction and electricity projects. It highlights the impact of geopolitical conflicts, such as the Middle East war, on fuel prices and project delays. The demand for power generation and oil and gas exploration remains strong, with renewables potentially making a comeback. The data center boom, fueled by artificial intelligence, supports the need for new data centers, although this demand may decline in two years. The article also notes challenges in project cost assessment due to tariffs and fuel price volatility, leading to project deferments and delays.
