Docks Market: Tracing the Evolution and Uncovering Emerging Opportunities

The global docks market size is expected to reach USD 2.3 billion by 2030, as per a new report by Grand View Research Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.4% from 2022 to 2030. The rising structure demand as the governing bodies of various economies is conducting redevelopment of waterfronts to maximize their value for both business and community, which is expected to propel market growth. Additionally, the constantly rising global population is indirectly leading to the scarcity of space in the existing urban ports leading to market demand for increasing the space productivity within a port.

One of the Norway-based engineering firms has developed smart application software to reduce the risk of accidents using an IoT platform. The newly developed technology makes use of hi-tech sensors to real-time monitor the operating states of floating docks from virtually anywhere. This newly developed application software shows the water levels across different tanks and other operating parameters for the docks which will increase the market for docks.

The Governmental permits are needed on the size of the dock, type of dock, and the type of natural resources that might get affected such as mangroves, corals, hard bottoms, and seagrass.

The installation of docks is offered directly by the company-appointed contractors or distributors. However, the companies also offer a product suitable for DIY installations. In addition, the manufacturers also offer repair and maintenance services for the docks. The conventional port world is constantly changing, the technological, demographical, and sustainability drivers are affecting the daily business and are shaping several important trends which is also expected to drive the demand for docks market during the forecast period. 

The global temperature rise is expected to make the transpolar passage and the Northern Sea Route could become potential alternatives for maritime freight.

This MASSIVE French flag is from a French War-Ship during the 'Battle of Trafalgar' (1805) where Lord Nelson was killed. Comparing the flag with the ship truly highlights the magnitude of historic naval-warfare and just how unaware we are, of it's impressive, terrifying scale.

A new 81m project by Briand. Overall she has beautiful lines, except for the inverted bow.

Getting wet isn't much of an issue when you have three acres of foredeck. And, an inverted bow can make sense if she's built to race. For anything under 30m that's intended to be a stable home to take you around the world in sometimes very heavy weather, the design is a hard no, for me.

John Barrow's house

Stopped by John Barrow's house at 17 Hanover Terrace, London to spiritually tell him that his beloved friend Fitzjames has been found. ❤️

Barrow did much to help the Franklin search expeditions, no doubt partially motivated by wanting to find out what happened to Fitzjames. He bought this house in the 1850s, before that he was still living with his parents. Many Arctic explorers visited him here at this house, in which he lived until his death in 1898.
