Why Are Carriers Moving Beyond Ships?

42% of CEOs are already crossing industry lines.

Shipping used to have clearer borders.

• Carriers moved boxes.

• Ports handled them.

Those borders are fading.

42% say their firms entered new sectors.

And firms earning more there were also more profitable.

The biggest carriers are making the same move.
