Liberty got off to a 37-second lead when (the Australian challenger) Australia II jumped the gun and had to recross the starting line. The Australian skipper tried to catch up by sailing way over to the left of the course in the hopes of catching a wind shift. Liberty’s skipper chose to keep to the right- hand side of the course. Summary excerpt taken from Thinking Strategically: The Competitive Edge in Business, Politics, and Everyday Life by Avinash K. Dixit and Barry J. Nalebuff (1991) Australia II’s gamble paid off as the wind shifted 5° in her favor and she won the race by one minute and 47 seconds. She went on to win the next two races and won the cup.

MERGERS AND ALLIANCES IN THE LINER SHIPPING INDUSTRY: AN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE David A. Menachof University of Plymouth Anthony Damian Norasia Services SA This article chronicles the history of mergers and alliances in the liner shipping industry during the past century before focusing on the latest wave of mergers to hit the industry Each merger wave in the liner shipping industry generally coincided with merger waves from the general industrial world. The incentive for each wave of mergers seemed to be different, with the most recent wave focusing on synergy between the merging companies. The reduction of competing firms through mergers has implications for the shipper and these are also examined. INTRODUCTION the last century can be compared to the present day competition in the liner shipping industry. In the present decade, mergers and strategic The commonality between the two periods alliances have become the model for liner represents an attempt to increase price stability shipping companies in coping with the and profitability.

  • The Feasibility of Mega Container Vessels
    European Transport \ Trasporti Europei n. 25-26 (2005): 89-98 The feasibility of mega container vessels Johannes Cornelius van Ham1• 1 Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management, Delft University of technology, The Netherlands Abstract The introduction of the container revolutionised maritime trade and shipping. Since 1956 container vessels have evolved from converted tankers and cargo ships, via full cellular container ships that could navigate the Panama Canal, to post-Panamax vessels with a capacity of approx. 8500 TEU (Twenty foot Equivalent Unit). Even bigger container ships (9600 TEU) are to be delivered soon. However, current technical and physical constraints such as propulsion and port limitations pose restrictions to further growth. Moreover, the diminishing economies of scale in ship costs are offset by the increase of other costs involved (e.g. port fees, terminal handling charges). Nevertheless, empirical research shows that the concept of mega container vessels is appealing and that, if available, most shipping lines will deploy such ships. So, the next generation container ships will probably consist of Suez-max vessels (up to 12,500 TEU) with twin propulsion systems. Albeit feasible from a technical point of view the ultimate 18,000 TEU container ship i.e. Mallaca-max has too many limitations to become popular. Keywords: Container vessels; Shipping lines; Container revolution. 1. Introduction With the internationalisation and globalisation of economies shipping has obtained a central role in world trade. Most of the general cargo is transported in containers. The increase in volume of containerised cargo is continuing from the last decades into the beginning of this new century.
