Transport containers every day
Transport of containers – The container transport market of the second decade of the 21st century is an ever-increasing field of competition. This applies not only to Poland and Europe, but also, and perhaps above all, the world. The driving force behind this fight is the pursuit of continuous cost reduction in a relatively unstable global economy.
Shipowners ( transport morski ), operators, agency and forwarding companies (which also includes Helena-ts.pl) they achieve cost reduction by introducing new technologies, allowing you to manage your time much more flexibly, the volume of sea transport and the distribution of the merchant fleet, but also the construction of increasingly larger vessels and - what is a particularly clear phenomenon - joining forces within various types of transport alliances.
The topic of this text will be the third and last of the above-mentioned factors of gaining a competitive advantage in forwarding and transport of containers by sea.. As we know, the G6 group intends to call regularly at the Gdynia and Gdańsk container terminals, will be an alliance of smaller carriers. This alliance gives them the opportunity to negotiate better rates in relations with terminals and ports, merging and cheaper renovations of the container ship fleet, free operation within fixed line connections offered by all members, as well as the possibility of conducting a common marketing policy ( Container transport ).
This alliance is just an example, but the real revolution is the alliance of the three most powerful carriers in the world (shipowners and operators) containers in the world. Danish Maersk joins forces, formerly Italian, currently based in Switzerland MSC and with main offices in Marseille, France CMA – CGM.
The alliance of these container giants raises great concerns among competitors in the maritime transport industry. The new alliance will be able to offer a powerful fleet, access to almost all ports in the world, but also the lowest rates. Competitors of these three: Hamburg Sud, APL, Cosco or Hanjin will have to work hard, to cope with the fierce competition imposed by large global market players container transport.
Only continuous cost reduction, an optimal and wide supply offer as well as competitive prices and delivery reliability will ensure, that they have any chance of remaining on the container transport market.
The fight between these powerful players in the maritime transport market will be resolved in the coming years. The greatest, the most flexible and those who make the fewest mistakes will emerge victorious, and their flag will fly proudly on the seas of the whole world ( Container transport ).
