MSC needs a single New Panamax vessel purchase to dethrone Maersk

It is a matter of time before MSC surpasses Maersk, becoming the largest container shipping company in the world.

After approximately 20 years, the Danish shipping giant will not be the “king” of the oceans, but “that’s not the end of the world,” according to Maersk’s CEO Soren Skou, who back in July stated that “Our focus is on having a much higher turnover per container we ship.”

The gap between the existing fleets of the two 2M Alliance partners is now just 13,381 TEU, which translates to one...

Shipping lines vertically take-off as ‘integrators’ – a threat to air cargo?

Maersk is reportedly in the market for a top five forwarder as huge shipping line profits – a combined Q3 ebit of $37.24bn – are expected to disrupt the logistics industry, with air cargo taking a particular interest in the outcome.
Maersk’s well-publicised acquisition of Senator, two 777Fs and leases on three 767-300Fs, as well as its move into forwarding, could well disrupt the market.
Then, of course, there is CMA CGM’s …

Indian shippers re-route more transhipment cargo to Nhava Sheva and Mundra

Cargo owners at India’s hinterland points of Chennai and Kolkata are rerouting more shipments to JNPT (Nhava Sheva) or Mundra instead of feedering to hub or intermediate ports in South Asia for mainline, long-haul connectivity.
These are usually Colombo (Sri Lanka), Singapore and Port Klang (Malaysia) .
What became the driving force in helping shippers alter their long-time supply chain pursuits away from transhipment is the introduction of block-train services by major …
