Facilitating commercial alliances
to create greater value

01.
The Client Challenge

Two companies who were competitors in a niche and challenging market wanted to enter into a commercial cooperation in order to provide transportation and engineering solutions. One was a maritime heavy lift transport and engineering contractor and the other was a breakbulk and project cargo specialist.

Merging their specialised fleets would provide a better value proposition to clients; however, discussions between the parties had failed twice in the past.

02.
The Braemar Solution

The objective was to identify and discuss a mutually acceptable structure for the joint venture. Braemar’s team assisted both companies in advisory and project management roles throughout the preparation and implementation of the alliance.

Our team worked for over 18 months on the project. We managed discussions, created proposals, held workshops and eventually assisted in the implementation of the joint venture. It was crucial to involve various departments within both organisations throughout the entire process, as well as bringing in external consultants for the legal and taxation aspects.

Internal and external communication played a vital role in making this venture a success, fostering full support from all employees and helping to obtain backing from joint and future clients and business partners.

The analysis and careful definition of each process meant that complications and frustrations were kept to a minimum for both companies and that operations were able to begin in a smooth and efficient manner.

03.
The Result

Both companies saved on costs while improving the efficiency and quality of their operations. The commercial joint venture allowed them to provide enhanced, comprehensive and flexible transport solutions.
