Γιατί «δεν σκοτώνουν» τα container vessels όταν γεράσουν

Η τρελή κούρσα κερδών για τον κλάδο των πλοίων μεταφοράς εμπορευματοκιβωτίων έχει ως αποτέλεσμα να ναυλώνονται ακόμη και σκαριά ηλικίας άνω των 2-0 ετών ενώ οι πλοιοκτήτες δεν στέλνουν στα διαλυτήρια για παλιοσίδερα τα “υπερήλικα” αφού παραμένουν κερδοφόρα είτε τα ναυλώνουν είτε τα πουλάνε.

Εταιρείες κολοσσοί όπως η κινεζικών συμφερόντων Alibaba ναύλωσε πρόσφατα μέσω εταιρείας στην οποία είναι μέτοχος της Transfar Shipping, για χρονικό διάστημα από 6 έως 7 μήνες το πλοίο μεταφοράς...

Η κινεζική πλατφόρμα ηλεκτρονικού εμπορίου Alibaba, σύμφωνα με δημοσιεύματα σε διεθνή ΜΜΕ, προέβη πριν από έναν χρόνο στην εξαγορά του 10,33% των μετοχών της νεοσυσταθείσας εταιρείας τακτικών γραμμών Transfar Shipping, η οποία δραστηριοποιείται στον θαλάσσιο εμπορικό δρόμο του Ειρηνικού μεταξύ Κίνας και Δυτικής Ακτής των ΗΠΑ.

Is Didi’s IPO a stock loser from the start?

Didi files IPO paperwork

Didi Global operates in 16 countries, but 90% of its revenues come from China. In 2020, the ride-hailing giant saw its business plummet due to lockdowns related to COVID-19 and lost $1.6 billion on $21.6 billion in revenue, a 10% decline from 2019. The loss might have been bigger, save for the company’s decision to expand its operations into intracity freight delivery, food delivery and community group-buying services.

Even as a Chinese government investigation into the company is ongoing, Didi...
