First and foremost we would like to direct a warm thank you to our tutor Ove Krafft for
guidance, support, and encouragement during the process of completing the thesis. The task at
hand provided us with several challenges and problems to overcome and our discussions have
inspired us to work hard. We would also like to thank Johan Woxenius for sharing his
experience within maritime economics and logistics by giving us initial guidance in regard to
the topic and scope of the thesis
