France holds off on tighter restrictions – for now

Prime Minister Jean Castex has warned that tighter coronavirus restrictions will follow in 20 departments if there is a further deterioration in the health situation.

Linking the supply chain with common standards Part Two

Last week the link to the supply chain discussion concluded with the deliberations over semantic interoperability, the second element of that discussion was technical interoperability and that is where Part Two begins.

In addition to the semantic interoperability and considering the huge potential of the IoT data to improve the door-to-door logistic chains, there is a need to address the physical connectivity of the devices and among the different information systems.

DCSA has recently defined...

Linking the supply chain with common standards, Part One

Part One looks at the background to supply chains and how common standards can benefit stakeholders using a number of transport modes, offering a digital link between the seller and buyer. Bringing standards together will provide visibility along the whole of the supply chain.

End-to-end supply chains typically involve several modes of transport and a wide range of stakeholders. The original seller, as well as the final buyer of the product have little visibility of the location and condition of...

Η πανδημία «χτύπησε» και τον σιδηρόδρομο

Το παρατεταμένο lockdown που επιβλήθηκε από όλες τις ευρωπαϊκές χώρες φαίνεται πως, εκτός από τους αερομεταφορείς, επηρέασε σημαντικά και τις σιδηροδρομικές εταιρείες. Αν και το τρένο, στην παρούσα κρίση, φαντάζει ένα ασφαλέστερο για την υγεία μέσο σε σύγκριση με το αεροπλάνο, η απαγόρευση κυκλοφορίας οδήγησε σε δραστική πτώση της επιβατικής κίνησης.

Σύμφωνα με το ειδησεογραφικό πρακτορείο Reuters, η SNCF, δηλαδή οι κρατικοί γαλλικοί σιδηρόδρομοι, παρουσίασε σημαντική μείωση των εσόδων της λόγω...

On the wires: Geodis smells good – time for SNCF to make the smart choice

“SNCF’s objective to attain a break-even position by 2022 has been dealt a severe blow by a prolonged strike that could hasten a disposal  of assets at France’s state railway, including the partial sale of its freight transport and logistics arm Geodis.” –  Lloyd’s Loading List (LLL) , 14 January 2020.
Whether external or internal events are to blame for the financial distress experienced by state-owned rail company SNCF Mobilités, what is …

Supply chain radar: Why Geodis needs to be liberated from the SNCF quagmire

After my recent trawl through Deutsche Bahn AG’s annual report, it seems only fair to have a stab at France’s state-owned equivalent: SNCF.
At a mere 150 pages, SNCF’s 2018 update is more compact if not more concise than DB’s glossy 300-page effort. Sadly, it doesn’t have any pictures.
From a freight and logistics perspective, the upshot of our delve into Deutsche Bahn was that it probably should, but for understandable reasons …

Supply chain radar: The appeal of Geodis + Bolloré, if CMA CGM is out of the race

Whether a French revolution spurred by domestic deal-making of a certain size is the next chapter in logistics is as yet unknown.
However, speculation is rife about what’s next for Geodis, which only about ten days ago announced it had “brought its 2013–2018 strategic plan to a favourable close”, while other much smaller domestic deals are being worked out.
By the way, its 2023 plan can be found here – there is …

Supply chain radar: CMA CGM + Ceva + Geodis – the endgame

A likely French revolution in global logistics has put my brain in motion lately, given a number of domestic scenarios I’ve drafted that not only are compelling on paper, but also make a lot of sense in strategic and politic terms – and one stands above all: CMA CGM + Ceva Logistics + Geodis.
Give it time, it could well be the endgame. Here’s why.

Market insight: Where will the steady gaze of Geodis become fixed next?

France’s Geodis traditionally attracts all sorts of M&A rumours, with its management team often coming up lately in private conversations that always end with “so then who is its next acquisition target?”

The French logistics behemoth, part of state-owned national rail company SNCF, is adamant that chasing inorganic growth is the way forward, but the silver bullet could be a different shareholding structure before M&A opportunities are pursed.
