For example, start of container freight train service from China to Europe, increase in vessel sizes, can affect the Port business drastically. This requires constant involvement of management to factor in for holistic solutions and preparedness for the challenges ahead. We have to ensure that our systems and processes can forecast the risks, cultivate leadership & ethical decision making. The ethical decision making helps in developing long lasting business relation and have wider acceptance among multiple stakeholders.
