What can we learn from new cruise ship orders?Jess Peterson
There's a product hole in the cruise industry. Looking at shipbuilding data from 2009-2020, I show how to objectively measure cruise ship quality, and I demonstrate that nobody has built a seemingly obvious cruise product.
CMA-CGM: Has the NOL Acquisition Come at a Heavy Price?Xeneta
“In 2016, most probably, none of the 20 top companies will be profitable, consolidation will continue because small shipping lines will not be able to survive; the small to medium operators will be looking for a big brother to acquire them,” said Vice Chairman for CMA-CGM, Rodolphe Saadé.
Global dynamics are changing the landscape of cargo flows due to two factors: growth in demand and changes in the nature of demand. Demand growth is slowing while volatility is increasing. Ship sizes are rapidly increasing, with ultra large container vessels dominating new orders and trade routes. This is changing cargo flows and challenging terminal operators with greater peaks and troughs in volumes and an increased need for transhipment capabilities. Terminals must improve performance to accommodate larger vessels while maintaining reliability, productivity and efficiency.
In the military world, it's called 'collateral damage,' meaning unintended casualties suffered due to an otherwise planned assault or airstrike. The results are predictable; senior officers apologize, cash payments are made to surviving family members, and an investigation is promised. The Maersk takeover of Hamburg Süd seems to qualify as such an event.

1) This document discusses lessons learned from a decade of carbon capture and storage (CCS) demonstration projects. 2) It identifies 9 CCS projects and notes which were successful and which were not. 3) The key lessons are to start small and build confidence, ensure public support for CCS, recognize that enhanced oil recovery will not cover all costs, address challenges with integrated gasification combined cycle technology, keep the CCS value chain simple, and have government co-venture to provide more market pull support that is still required.

Oil trade and freight hedging process flows simon jacques, trafigura sdr60GE 94
This document discusses hedging strategies commonly used in the oil and wet freight markets. It seeks to clarify the hedging processes used to manage risks for oil trading and freight, which contrary to perceptions is actually a high-risk, low-margin business. The document examines hedging for crude oil pricing and transportation via tankers.
This document provides an overview of international maritime trade, infrastructure investment, and operational efficiency. It analyzes trends in global GDP growth, seaborne trade volumes, containerized trade, and the world fleet from 2008-2015. It also examines freight costs, port investments in Africa, sources of infrastructure financing, and strategies to improve port productivity including data sharing and terminal collaboration. The outlook for continued investment and efficiency gains in maritime transport is positive.
As we reported in December 2016, there is both good and bad news on the horizon in 2017; it will be interesting to see whether or not the current rising rates are the vortex of a typhoon, or the calm aftermath of a tsunami. Certainly "imbalance" is the key word for this industry and trade as a whole. Shipyards are definitely suffering from a lack of balance.
The document contains multiple choice questions about ports in Lithuania, Latvia, and Norway. It asks about the number of ships that arrive in Klaipeda port annually in Lithuania, the number of ports in Lithuania, and that approximately 7,000 ships arrive in Lithuania's ports annually from over 29 countries. It also contains questions about the ports of Riga and Ventspils in Latvia, and the ports of Narvik, Bergen, and Oslo in Norway, asking details about cargo volumes, depths, and more.
Is global shipping threatened by protectionism?Xeneta
While protectionism in trade may bode well for trade itself, does this protectionism affect or threaten global shipping? We asked our social media community “Do you believe global shipping is threatened by the rising protectionist sentiment?” Here are the results and analysis of protectionism.
The document discusses careers in the cruise ship industry. It describes some of the key roles on cruise ships including those in bridge operations like the captain and chief engineer, and hotel operations like the hotel manager and purser.

Is the SM Group The Next Ocean Freight Disruptor?Xeneta
Korean conglomerate, SM Group, is aiming to be a top 20 container vessel operator by focusing on the Transpacific and intra-Asia routes. While many fear that the mighty Maersk will take over everything and claim world dominance, SM Group isn't scared easily. I admire their guts and for sure we do need more competition in the industry. I wonder if it will at all make a dent, however.
The document lists the 10 busiest ports in the world based on container traffic. The top 3 ports are the Port of Singapore, which handled over 30 million TEUs in 2015; the Port of Shanghai, which set a world record in 2014 handling over 35 million TEUs; and the Port of Hong Kong, which was the world's busiest container port from 1987-1989 and 1992-2004. The other ports in the top 10 include Shenzhen, Busan, Ningbo, Guangzhou, Dubai, Qingdao, and Rotterdam.
Rumors of “who’s next” constantly swirl within the battered ocean freight market. Whether it’s another bankruptcy or acquisition, fallout within the market continues as it works to right the ship. Increasingly, the focus is on Taiwan’s Yang Ming. Can it continue as is, will it need propped up financially or will it be allowed to collapse? Many questions surround this carrier. Below we continue our carrier profile series.
Each time a GRI is announced, everyone holds their breath in anticipation that maybe THIS time the rates will stick; however, hopes are usually dashed thanks to the glut of surplus capacity even though there are signs of capacity removal by some shipping lines. Besides, does peak shipping season even still exist?
Chittagong port is located in Bangladesh and is the busiest seaport in the country. It has a long history dating back to the 4th century BCE. Currently it is the second busiest port in the region dependent on the Bay of Bengal and the 71st busiest port worldwide. The port has several container and industrial terminals and handles a variety of imports and exports for Bangladesh, with ready made garments making up over 60% of exports. While the port is strategically located and has room for expansion, it faces weaknesses such as limited draft depth restricting large vessels and a lack of infrastructure slowing container transport inland. Authorities are working to address these issues through a master plan aiming to further develop the port by
Is the Panama Canal Expansion Going to affect Freight Rates?Xeneta
With the trend of carriers employing ever larger ships in the global fleet, it comes as no small surprise that the infrastructure in ports all around the world are in need of some rather serious upgrades to be able to accommodate the new mammoth vessels. And, at long last, the Panama Canal will also be reflecting these new ship sizes as well.

Carnival Corporation is the largest cruise company in the world. It operates 10 cruise brands across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The investment thesis is that cruising is the fastest growing sector of the travel industry due to increasing discretionary spending and mobility of ships. Carnival is well positioned to capitalize on this growth through its brand diversification and modern fleet. It offers value as shares currently trade at a discount due to overreaction to Zika virus fears, though the company is managing impacts well through diversification. Financials show improving margins, returns and free cash flow as costs fall through scale and efficient new ships.

This document provides an overview of Royal Caribbean International's strategy in Italy. Some key points:
- The Italian cruise market is growing but remains highly fragmented. Royal Caribbean aims to target "active socializers" aged 25-54.
- Main competitors Costa and MSC have majority market share due to being Italian brands and aggressive pricing.
- Royal Caribbean has invested heavily in Italy but profitability lags other markets due to high acquisition costs.
- A reorganization in 2013 led to cuts in marketing/sales and general & administrative spending in Italy to improve performance.
Cruise ships offer significant economic benefits to Jamaica through foreign exchange, employment, and taxes. In 2013, cruise ships brought in $101 million in foreign exchange and provided 3865 jobs in Jamaica. The ports of Falmouth, Ocho Rios, and Montego Bay are the major ports of call, with Falmouth seeing the most passengers since it is the exclusive port for Royal Caribbean ships. However, Jamaica remains only moderately dependent on cruise ship tourism compared to other Caribbean nations like St. Kitts and Nevis. While volatile, strategies like increasing duty-free shopping and unique attractions have helped some countries capture more tourist spending.
