It is getting crowded in Guajarat (India) seaside, the home of Indian multi-industrial juggernaut Adani Group. Adani's container ports in the state enjoyed some exclusivity, but DP World is very aggressively muscling in. In January 2023, the Deendayal Port Authority (Erstwhile Kandla Port Trust) awarded DP World concession to develop greenfield 2.9 million TEU container terminal. Yes, 2.9 million! Going from scratch, it is a rather ambitious volume sizing given the many competing ports in the state. In the background, DP World reported a nearly 10% fall in first-half profit to $651 million despite a 13.9% year-on-year rise in revenue to more than $9 billion. If you recall, Adani themselves went out to Haifa (Israel) to spread their international wings and in pursuit of more profitable business. The world of multi-terminal operators going globally is getting really crowded with new arrivals competing and overlapping on the international scene. Watch Abu Dhabi Ports and now Qatar Ports trying to carve out their own international niche from nothing. But most importantly, the game of gaining and keeping the customers (carriers) will hinge upon terminals' differentiation to the hinterland shippers, as on the water side the carriers will drive the hard bargains. After all, you need the carries to sail into the terminals. Otherwise, it is all about building white elephants. That's why the digital fabric of those terminals is as important as the cranes and RTGs they are ordering. #shipping #logistics #maritime #supplychains

In light of the current situation in the Red Sea, the majority of companies engaged in maritime container shipping have decided to redirect vessels around South Africa, resulting in longer transit times and the rise of shipping cost. As a result of demand surge for rail transportation the number of railcars has become a limited resource, and they are quickly being sold out. 🚂 We understand the importance of timely delivery and strive to minimize the negative consequences for our clients. Therefore, PRIMUM offers a beneficial alternative solution - road transportation from China to Europe via the Southern route. 🚛 * Beneficial transit time * Large number of available trucks for your shipments * ISO, TAPA, GDP certified #primum1 #internationallogistics #logistics #souternroute #roadtransport #roadtransportation

BREAKBULK TRIUMPH: ASB LOGISTICS CHINA TO STP, RUSSIA, The success of this operation underscores the expertise and efficiency of ASB LOGISTICS in navigating the complexities of breakbulk cargo and project logistics.

Good write-up on Charlee Delavin's discussion with Glen Hilton of DP World for Asia Cargo News. Despite the many blockbuster deals done in the wider logistics space over the years, there is still enormous fragmentation in most logistics markets both vertically (carrier, terminal operator, customs agent, forwarder etc all under disparate ownership) and horizontally (why can't I appoint the same full service logistics provider in say Japan as I do in say the UAE?). Organic growth is necessary and it's always good to see new investors going to underinvested markets but the answer almost certainly lies in greater M&A activity as DP World is engaging in. https://lnkd.in/gCxHUCAa
