  • APM Annual Report 2013 New Cover Ctc
    CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT Dear Shareholders, On behalf of the Board, I present to you the first Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31st December 2013 after assuming the Chairmanship. The global economy continued to face many challenges. Looking back on 2013, your Company has a good reason to be satisfied. Strong container volume growth despite demand not growing at the rate seen in the past, operational productivity, and superior rail connectivity have been the mainstay of our performance this year. Bulk cargo remained steady during the year though the overall outlook is likely to remain weak in the absence of clarity in the power purchase policy, as well as adverse rail freight differential for coal transportation for power plants located in the Northern hinterland. The construction of tanks by 3 liquid cargo operators at Pipavav is in advanced stages of completion. With this the handling of Liquid Cargo is likely to commence very soon. 2013 represented a year of strong growth in both revenue and profitability. Operating revenue increased by 24% to ` 5,179.35 Million while EBITDA grew 41% to ` 2,568 Million, driven mainly by a substantial improvement in container volumes and realization. During the year, your Company commenced handling of double stack high cube container trains in collaboration with its JV partner, Pipavav Railway Corporation Limited (PRCL). This has benefitted Exim Trade by reducing transit time and improved efficiency to the main cargo generating areas across North and North West India. The availability of capable rail connections will decrease congestion on roads, enable fuel savings and benefit the environment.

  • Maersk Line and the Future of Container Shipping
    9-712-449 REV: JUNE 1, 2012 FOREST L. REINHARDT RAMON CASADESUS - MASANELL FREDERIK NELLEMANN Maersk Line and the Future of Container Shipping There is a difference between just moving a container and moving it in the most sustainable, easy, and reliable way. And that difference is worth something to our customers. — Morten Engelstoft, Chief Operating Officer, Maersk Line, 2012 It was a cold February afternoon in 2012 as Søren Skou looked out the window of his office across the Copenhagen waterfront. Skou had just recently been promoted to become CEO of Maersk Line, the world’s largest container shipping company, and the flagship company of the Danish conglomerate A.P. Moller-Maersk Group. He was taking the reins at a difficult time: the sluggish global economy had severely depressed container rates, while fuel prices were still at record levels. On some trade routes, the company—like its competitors—wasn’t even meeting the costs of deploying its large and expensive container ships. Skou was confident that the company would pull through. After all, it had recently completed a successful turnaround following the Maersk Line’s first ever annual loss in 2009 and the Group benefited from a diverse holding of activities, which included an oil and gas business. However, Skou needed to assess whether Maersk Line was headed in the right direction, both to be able to compete in this slower market but also once the economy, and global trade, picked up. In 2010 the company had decided to focus on three differentiators to help it maintain its position as the global leader: reliability, ease-of-doing business, and environmental performance.

    European Scientific Journal November 2018 edition Vol.14, No.31 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 Black Sea Container Market and Georgia’s Positioning Irakli Danelia, (PhD student) Tbilisi State University, Georgia Doi:10.19044/esj.2018.v14n31p100 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2018.v14n31p100 Abstract Due to the strategically important geographical location, Black Sea region has a key transit function throughout between Europe and Asia. Georgia, which is a part of Black sea area, has a vital transit function for Caucasus Region, as well as for whole New Silk Road area. Nevertheless, still there is no evidence what kind of role and place Georgia has in The Black Sea container market. As the country has ambition to be transit hub for containerizes cargo flows between west and east and is actively involved in the process of formation “One Belt One Road” project, it is very important to identify Country’s current circumstances, capacities and future potential. Because of this, the purpose of the study is to investigate cargo flows and opportunities of the Black Sea container market, level of competitiveness in the area and define Georgia’s positioning in the regional Container market. Keywords: Geostrategic Location, New Silk Road, Transit Corridor, Cargo flow, Container market, Georgia, Black Sea Methodology Based on practical and theoretical significance of the research the following paper provides systemic, historical and logical generalization methods of research in the performance of the work, scientific abstraction, analysis and synthesis methods are also used. Introduction Since the end of the Cold War, the Black Sea region has no longer been a static border between the West and the East.
