Transportation and Logistics
Transportation and logistics involve freight, warehousing and logistics-operation contracts and infrastructure concessions, with tariffs, volumes and costs that shift over time.
Industry context
Changes in demand, fuel costs, infrastructure works and contract terminations give rise to requests for review, indemnity and rebalancing, litigated in court proceedings, arbitrations and before regulatory agencies.
SGEx acts in this environment as a technical firm, engaged when the industry produces disputes, inquiries, reviews, losses, buyout claims, fraud, rendering-of-accounts matters or valuations that call for an independent examination.
Questions that arise in this industry
- Review of tariffs, freight rates and contractual price adjustments.
- Rebalancing of highway, port and rail concessions.
- Costs and delays in logistics infrastructure works.
- Quantification of losses arising from contract terminations.
- Disputes under agency and distribution agreements.
How SGEx Approaches This
SGEx may examine: sGEx typically reviews contracts and freight-rate schedules, operational volume reports, cost records, concession agreements and regulatory decisions, financial statements and works schedules.
Every engagement begins by framing the technical question, continues with the organization of these sources, and ends with conclusions presented in the format the proceeding requires, with assumptions and limitations disclosed.
