Market Opinions and Briefings
05 Mar 2025: MSC gets set to rocket to the top of the global terminal operator league table: The announcement on 4 March 2025 that CK Hutchison would be selling its 80% stake in Hutchison Ports Holding to a Blackrock-TiL consortium is set to rocket MSC to the top of Drewry’s Global Terminal Operator (GTO) league table.
20 Jun 2024: Transhipment ports challenged by changes in call patterns amid the Red Sea crisis: Key transhipment ports, such as Singapore, have witnessed a sharp rise in congestion due to the impact of Red Sea carrier service diversions, which have led to fewer vessel calls but larger average exchanges. This has added to yard congestion.
10 Jun 2024: Port call optimisation is key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in ports: Using SMART port technologies to facilitate ‘just in time’ ship arrivals has the potential to reduce greenhouse and pollutant gas emissions significantly at global container ports.
