MRP and HANSA bundle their expertise
The Hamburg based market research institute Maritime Research Partners (MRP), which specialises in maritime and logistics topics, and HANSA have[ds_preview] agreed on an exclusive cooperation.
In the future, both partners will jointly conduct and publish surveys (»Maritime Snapshots«) to reflect the current sentiment in the maritime industry on specific topics. »We have extensive and high-profile contacts in the international shipping industry for market research, which we are now putting on an even broader basis with HANSA,« explains Ingmar Loges, co-founder of MRP. For HANSA editor-in-chief Krischan Förster, the cooperation now signed is »an ideal win-win situation to the benefit of our subscribers.«
The topics of next »Maritime Snapshots« will be developed jointly by MRP and the HANSA editorial team, transferred to an online questionnaire and sent to the respective target group. The participants always answer anonymously and in compliance with the strictest data protection regulations. In addition, supplementary individual interviews with relevant stakeholders are also planned.
»The spectrum of topics includes environmental protection requirements as well as ship financing, digitalisation and the market development of individual ship types or ports in the North Range,« Loges announces. »We expressly call on our readers to bring in own suggestions and comments,« adds Förster.
The first »Maritime Snapshot« is on the acceptance of digital financial marketplaces in the maritime industry which can be read on the opposite page. »We have separately surveyed international medium-sized shipowners and lenders and contrasted the highly exciting results,« Loges explains.
Loges founded MRP (www.maritime-research-partners.com) in Hamburg in the summer of 2019 together with his business partner Behrend Oldenburg. MRP produces confidential market studies and decision-making analyses for clients from the entire maritime industry. Both of them combine decades of industry experience. Loges is an economist and previously worked in leading positions at various financial institutions in Hamburg, Amsterdam and Singapore. As a graduate industrial engineer for transportation and logistics, Oldenburg has been specialised in the fields of communication and market research for many years.
