Maritime
If a rising tide lifts all boats, the forecast for the global maritime defense industry should put some wind in your sails. Heightened homeland security requirements, new challenges to long-standing multinational alliances and the rogue threat of piracy are boosting demand for ships and equipment to protect public and private interests at sea. Oh, and did we mention that three-quarters of the Earth’s surface is water? Our maritime business is anchored in the Persian Gulf and Asia-Pacific, two of the world’s most strategically vital and active shipping regions for crude oil, derivative energy products and dry cargo. Corresponding demand for maritime defense platforms, weapons and infrastructure support to keep commerce flowing makes these regions perennial prospects for U.S. manufacturers and suppliers.
