Profitability
BlueTide Logistics needs a strategic perspective on where its shipping industry is heading — no single insight unlocks it, so the analysis has to explore the industry dynamics.
← Back to the case library · How profitability cases run
Blue Tide Logistics is a container shipping business based in the UK. The firm operates 10 container ships, which carry out return journeys from China to Europe, stopping at a number of ports en route to load and unload cargo. The ships run on a regular schedule, with a ship departing each port at the same time every week.
The owners of Blue Tide Logistics have approached us, as they have recently seen a decline in profitability. They believe this decline is because increased competition has been pushing down market prices.
We have been asked to evaluate Blue Tide Logistics’s business and suggest possible changes they could make to drive improvements in profitability.
