Mario will be involved primarily in the activities of Drewry Maritime Research, the research arm of Drewry, but will also work across Drewry’s Supply Chain Advisors and Maritime Financial Research business units, as well as its single-client consultancy assignments.

Mario comes to Drewry with extensive experience of maritime forecasting and modelling and is well known in the container port and shipping industries, particularly in the Americas.

“We look forward to having Mario as part of our team and to using his skills to sharpen our forecasting techniques in the container, tanker, dry bulk and other shipping market sectors,” said Philip Damas, director at Drewry.
