Freight forwarder DSV Panalpina has chartered a 1,800TEU vessel and containers for a single journey from Asia to Europe in an effort to help its customers beat the congestion bottlenecks on the trade.
Shortages of both capacity and equipment as a result of the ongoing pandemic and the fall out from the six-day blockage of the Suez Canal have seen rates on the trade rise sharply again after spiking earlier this year. The Freightos Baltic Index (FBX) stood at US$7,300/FEU on 12 April, by 6 May...

Certain private exchanges ahead of what is arguably a defining week for the staggering stock market tale of DSV Panalpina (DSV PAN) are priceless.
What’s at stake
Play up expectations again when the interims come out next Tuesday, without acting promptly (February 10: this should ring a bell), and shareholder value is at risk.

The lawsuit against DSV, in which the Danish forwarder is potentially on the hook along for several billions of dollars in damages, has taken an interesting twist.
(Our previous coverage is here, background; and here)
A quick recap
Last year, North American Sugar Industries filed a lawsuit claiming that DSV (now DSV Panalpina), along with BBC Chartering, had used a port it had owned in Cuba, but which was expropriated by the Cuban government …
Excusez-moi, I’d kindly point you immediately to a conversation I had in our marketplace… in the summer of 2020.
Mr One: “Hi, do you have the teu figures for DSV and PAN for Q1 + Q2 ’19? If I’m not mistaken, the total 2020 teu reading vs 2019 is terrible.”
Me: “Right, I think about 15% down could...

It almost passed unnoticed outside logistics and arguably didn’t come with a big bang publicly in our industry given Flexport’s own standards, but last week’s appointment of Kenneth Wagers as new CFO of the freight forwarder is intriguing, for several reasons.
While the deal-makers I reached out to remain stubbornly tight-lipped – feedback: swinging between “call later” and “don’t call”; possibly nothing is cooking yet – a blend of factual and mildly …

Apex rather than Kerry Logistics makes perfect sense for its suitor, Kuehne + Nagel (K+N), taking a page out of the strategic thinking book in supply chain from several decades ago, I argued last month, just as few sizeable targets were or are up for grabs.
I still abide by that view. But after a...

That’s the most recurring question in our logistics circles, mainly spanning: targets for the logistics integrators (no concrete rumours so far); which freight forwarder is soon to be targeted (several unreliable suggestions, but some obvious names stand out); an apparent lack of combinations elsewhere in container shipping that brings only hypothetical scenarios to the fore (one is particularly explosive, but the fireworks are for another time).
So here’s a shortlist of some …
