World Container Port Industry

The most comprehensive analysis of an expanding industry with reference guide to leading players.

See the big picture; acquire the depth of insight from the analysis of detail.

• Vital intelligence for operators and investors including port authorities, stevedores, terminal operators, container shipping lines, financial institutions, market analysts and port equipment suppliers.
• Forecasts up to 2013 covering the key areas of operator-by-operator capacity projections and regional container port supply and demand dynamics.

This annual report from Drewry is an indispensable resource providing  across-the-board intelligence on the leading players in the industry through unbiased analysis and five-year forecasting models.

The future
In 2007 over half of total world container port capacity was controlled by a small number of stevedores and container lines that can be considered to be operating on a global scale. New entrants to the market, primarily in the form of financial investors are emerging though.

Strategies for growth
As a result of ongoing investment in their sector, from 2006 to 2007, the top 20 operators increased their total throughput by 13%. Within this annual publication, the expansion plans that each major operator has adopted are reviewed, and the geographic spread and degree of risk associated with each operator’s investment portfolio are also assessed.

Regional market developments
Growth opportunities vary around the world and Drewry’s Report provides an in-depth regional perspective. Five-year forecasts for both port demand and supply are graphically illustrated together with market share analyses that identify the regional strengths of the global players and the leading regional players.

The global market
Drewry’s Report highlights how ongoing expansion programmes, encompassing acquisitions, new developments and increased partnerships, will help address the supply-demand balance in the container port sector.

There is no doubt that the slowdown in growth is creating in some breathing space in some regions, but elsewhere, congestion remains a serious issue.

Increasing throughput
Global container port throughput is forecast by Drewry to show strong growth between 2007 and 2013, even with the current slowdown in global economic activity. Locations such as Eastern Europe, India, the Middle East and China will remain buoyant, whilst North America and Europe can be expected to recover growth in the medium term.

Analysing business performance
Drewry provides a comparison between the future expansion plans and financial performance of the global operators and assesses the degree of competition and co-operation between the front-runners in the market. Comprehensive analyses of each of the global operators’ terminal portfolios and performance complete the picture and include details of minority shareholdings and projects under development.
