Packaged refrigeration systems are gaining momentum as they provide substantial cost, space, and time advantages. Packaged refrigeration systems of all individual systems in-factory as opposed to filed fitted systems, which are completed on-site, require only electrical and piping services. As the fabrication of these systems can be completed before hand, they can be instrumental in reducing the overall delivery timeline. Packaged refrigeration systems are manufactured in a controlled environment, which helps to ensure higher standards of quality control. The ease of customizing these systems in relation to the required application is a major factor that will drive the demand. This reduces designing and adaption cost of single elements, as well as installation time and cost on-site. Also, these systems can be manufactured in almost all sizes, requiring minimal on-site connections. Also, the flexibility in the use of refrigerants and compressors will also encourage their adoption. Services such as commissioning are available from one source.

Barge transportation refers to the mode of transporting dry and liquid bulk commodities in a barge vessel (a flat-bottomed boat) through rivers and canals.Some barges have to be pushed or towed, while others are self-propelled.Barge transportation is a sustainable mode of transportation and is environmentfriendly,with respect to emission of CO₂ (carbon dioxide) gases and energy consumption.The barge transportation market in Europe is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.80% during the forecast period. Decline in oil prices in Europe since 2012 has had a positive impact on the inland waterway operators. The falling oil prices and low-interest rate have reduced the operating cost of barges. However, environmental agencies are concerned that the decline in oil prices will likely increase the use of fossil fuels, which could lead to a rise in the global temperature by 35.6℉.

An offshore supply vessel is a sea motor vessel used for transporting cargos, goods, supplies, crews, and offshore exploration and production (E&P) across oil platforms. OSVs support marine offshore drilling activities through transportation of offshore energy resources, and they also facilitate the installation process of oil rigs. They are mostly used by oil and gas companies for E&P activities. The OSVs are operated by ship owners or by companies that take OSVs on lease. In addition, the OSVs facilitate maritime logistics operations for different industries such as subsea and deepwater mining.
