World’s top 10 shipping lines
The world’s top 10 carriers enjoyed a combined global market share of 60 per cent in 2006, up from 49.3 per cent in 2000, according to a new survey from a French shipping consultancy.
That’s an increase of 21.7 per cent, said the report compiled by AXS-Alphaliner, which added that the top 10 carriers’ combined fleet size had risen from 2.54 million TEUs to 6.28 million TEUs over the period.
The Liner Shipping Report shows that the world’s top three ocean liners, Maersk Line, MSC and CMA CGM, have increased their collective global market share from 32.4 per cent to 33.1 per cent in 2006 in terms of TEU carrying capacity.
This compares to a combined market share of 23.7 per cent on January 1, 2000, for the three leading container shipping companies, which back then were Maersk Sealand, Evergreen and P&O Nedlloyd.
What’s interesting about this growth is that Maersk Line commanded the largest global market share of 16.8 per cent at the beginning of this year, down from 18.2 per cent a year ago. The experts attribute this downturn to the integration difficulties Maersk faces with P&O Nedlloyd.
Both MSC and CMA CGM are said to have "strongly" strengthened their positions, with MSC raising its global market share from 8.6 per cent to 9.5 per cent in 2006. CMA CGM increased its share from 5.6 per cent to 6.5 per cent during the same period.
"It looks like the size and coverage extent of these two carriers give them more confidence in the future than smaller carriers and they are probably in a better position to sustain lower rates, thanks in part to economies of scale and through distinct commercial flair. It will allow them to drain cargo from smaller competitors and to continue growing faster than the rest", the report said.
The results highlight the rise and fall of some of the world’s top players by comparing the ratio between market shares on January 1, 2000 and January 1, 2007. The four success stories of this period are: CMA CGM, CSCL, MSC and Hapag-Lloyd.
During these last seven years, CMA CGM recorded a growth of 174 per cent, with its market share rising from 2.4 per cent to 6.5 per cent, with organic growth accounting for more than 80 per cent of this growth.
CSCL’s market share has risen from 1.67 per cent to 3.82 per cent, up by 127.8 per cent, purely through organic growth.
MSC’s market share has climbed from 4.4 per cent to 9.8 per cent.
Hapag-Lloyd’s market share grew from 2.0 per cent to 4.4 per cent, with the acquisition of CP Ships in 2005 accounting for around three-quarters of this growth.
In fifth place is the CSAV Group, whose market share rose from 1.4 per cent to 2.4 per cent in part due to the acquisitions of Norasia and the Norsul liner services, as well as organic growth.
Hamburg Süd, PIL and the IRISL are said to have performed well during this seven-year period and significantly increased their global market share, on the back of strong regional growth.
The levels of market share controlled by Japanese lines NYK Line, MOL and "K" Line are said to have remained about the same, Exim News Service reported.

Intermodal
Intermodal
Global Intermodal Network
OOCL is renowned for its pioneering approach to developing intermodal connections. All means of intermodal transport are carefully integrated with trunk ocean services to offer seamless connections across continents using feeder services, barges, trucks and block trains.
Asia
OOCL has been a leader in developing intermodal connections, especially in China. We were the first to offer dedicated intermodal train services from Zhengzhou to Hong Kong in 1994, and the first Reefer-on-Rail services to locations as far as Harbin in the north of China, to Cheungdu and Xi'an in the interior. In December 1998, we launched our Reefer-on Rail service from Xian to Qingdao; the first of its kind in China. In May 1999, we launched another Reefer-on Rail from Chengdu to Shanghai. In the near future more dedicated unit train and Reefer-on-Rail services will be added to this network.
The Yangtze River and Pearl River Delta are well catered to via intermodal barges, with 35 port connections; a dedicated feeder service calls at 13 ports along the northern, central and southern coasts of China.
OOCL covers nearly all existing niche ports in Japan via its hub in Kaohsiung. Dedicated services also connect emerging markets with the Singapore Hub and fast access to Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia is available.
Europe
OOCL's pan-European network of intermodal connections covers 40 major ports throughout Europe. OOCL operates three separate dedicated Intra-European services connecting Western Europe with the Scan-Baltic (Finland, Poland, Russia) region and with Iberia (Spain, Portugal). These provide prompt connections with the deep-sea services to and from Asia and North America, as well as offering Intra-European services to help customers develop new markets.
In addition, a daily dedicated block train, the "OOCL Express" is operated in the UK between Southampton and Manchester which helps to provide a high quality and reliable inland transport. The use of barge and train connections is being developed via strategically-located inland hubs across Continental Europe. Finally, we serve the Eastern Mediterranean via Gioia Tauro with a network of feeder connections.
North America
In the USA and Canada, rail dominates inter-modal transport. OOCL works in close partnership with all major rail service providers (BNSF, Norfolk Southern, CSX, Canadian Pacific, Canadian National, Union Pacific) providing one of the fastest and most reliable services into the heart of North America. Regular double-stack trains connect ports of the East and West coasts to major inland destinations and distribution centers.

California
Winning the government contract to transport mail from New York to San Francisco, Pacific Mail (predecessor to APL) commissioned a grand sidewheel steamer for the arduous journey. Built in May 1848, she left New York that October and 144 days later arrived in San Francisco.
The California was the very first steamship to enter San Francisco Bay, and would be forever linked to the great California Gold Rush. For several years, she transported goods, mail and seekers of fortune on one of the most modern ships of the day.
A few years later, to speed the journey, one of the world’s first intermodal routes was created by Pacific Mail’s founder, William Aspinwall. One vessel would ply from New York to Panama, where passengers and cargo would be offboarded and transported across the Isthmus by mule or train. They would then board another vessel for the Panama to San Francisco run.
This sea-land-sea connection dropped the transit time to just 21 days from more than 140 and was the precursor to the development of the Panama Canal
Truman
Since the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914, virtually all ships have been constructed to fit within its locks. Conventional wisdom favored flexibility, so ships were never more than 91 feet wide or 1,000 feet long. And because these "Panamax" ships could transit the canal, they could be deployed in either the Atlantic or Pacific as market conditions changed
Jefferson
Four new Pacesetter-class vessels, including the President Jefferson, were built between 1973 and 1974. They were the first APL vessels designed to carry containers exclusively. This shift from a mix of passenger and cargo (cargoliners) to cellularized containerships signified APL’s strong commitment to containerization and intermodalism
Cleveland
After World War II, a new generation of Americans was eager to travel in style. In response, APL launched the Presidents Cleveland and Wilson, in 1947. Designed to carry 550 passengers and a crew of 352, the ships were advertised as "your American hotel abroad.”
Celebrating the Ships that Made History
From the first all water voyage connecting the U.S. east and west coasts in 1848, to the new generation 10,000-TEU mega ships ordered for 2011 delivery, APL has been a pioneer in designing vessels that push new boundaries both technologically and geographically. Today, more than 100 vessels on every major trade route connect 25,000 service points all seven continents. Here is a short biography of some vessels
ATC Reaches Another Safety Milestone!
Through April of 2008, ATC ships have safely and efficiently carried over 1,103 million barrels of crude oil and our workforce has completed over 12 million man-hours without anyone being so hurt that they were unable to return to work the next day (lost time injury). No tanker company in the world has ever achieved this safety record.
While such safety statistics are one way to measure performance, they cannot possibly convey what makes ATC different from other shipping companies. As one ATC Captain has said;
“…our main achievement is not the statistic but what we have collectively achieved in our hearts and our minds”
The employees of ATC are committed to mitigating the risks we face every day, one day at a time, one job at a time. Our goal is an entire generation of seafarers spending their entire working lives without an injury, whilst earning a decent living for their families and loved ones. With over 12 million man-hours and over six years without a lost time injury, we’re off to a good start in realizing this goal.

Shipping Technology, Training Systems Companies From Russia See Dubai Emerging As Regional Training Hub
Leading shipping technology and training systems providers from Russia, today said that Dubai is gradually emerging as the crew training hub for global shipping lines from the Middle East and North Africa region as it would provide a cost-effective option compared to the Far East and Europe.
Terming it a vital development adding value to the Dubai's hub status in the regional shipping industry, representatives of Russian companies who will be taking part at the upcoming Ship & Port Arabia 2005 during September 3-5 at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre (DIEC), said that many shipping companies are now opting to train their crew within the region itself as part of streamlining costs.
Commenting on the development, Mr. Andrey Ilyin, Managing Director, Transas Middle East said: "The focus on Dubai as a crew training hub signifies the increasing importance of the emirate as the focal point in the regional shipping industry. Once Dubai Maritime City is completely operational, this trend will continue to pick up further, adding value to Dubai's proposition to the global shipping industry."
"Many ship owners who used to prefer sending their crew for training to the Far East and Europe earlier are realizing that it is not a cost-effective way of upgrading skills since Dubai is making such facilities available right at the doorstep of their operations," he added.
The Transas Group is one of the companies with base in Russia taking part at the Ship & Port Arabia 2005, apart from a host of Russian companies, keen to tap the growing demand for shipping technology systems in the region's market. Transas is a globally leading supplier of a wide range of software, integrated solutions and hardware technologies for the aviation and marine transportation industry, including both on-board and shore-based applications. The company has a regional base in Dubai which caters to the regional market.

"We are one of the leading providers of marine onboard equipment and onboard systems globally and we are confident of the regional market with demand for technology and training systems on the upswing. Through our participation at the Ship & Port Arabia 2005, we expect to showcase ourselves as a global company with an array of cutting-edge product line-up," Mr. Andrei said.
The Russian companies taking part at the Ship & Port Arabia 2005 include Zavod Hydromechanizaciy specializing in dredging systems, anchor chains producer Krasny Yakor Ltd, Sealing Materials Plant Ltd., Vneshtorggermetik Ltd., ProfiExpo, etc.
Commenting on the Russian participation at the Ship & Port Arabia 2005, Mr. Satish Khanna, General Manager, Al Fajer Information & Services said: "There is tremendous untapped potential for trade between Russian and the UAE and the region in general and the participation of the Russian companies at the exhibition comes in this context. We are confident that the expo will offer a robust platform to increase trade and economic engagement further, particularly in the shipping industry."
"We have conceived Ship & Port Arabia 2005 as a unique show focusing on next generation marine technology and services since these are key areas of the shipping industry. Technology plays a salient role in global shipping industry now and we are confident the show has the very best of these cutting-edge products and services showcased. The expo also covers ship building, shipyards, ports, logistics, engineering among others presenting a broad spectrum of the industry to the visitor," he said.
Ship &Port Arabia 2005 supported by Dubai Ports Authority, Saudi Port Authority, Ras Al Khaimah Port, Abu Dhabi Port Authority, and Sharjah Port Authority, will serve as a one-stop platform for trade and technology updates across the entire spectrum of the maritime industry.
"Ship & Port Arabia 2005 will also present a robust platform for small and medium shipping systems and technology providers to reach out to the regional market and enhance their presence. The show will allow participants to develop contacts and make further inroads into the future," Mr. Khanna added.
Ship&Port Arabia 2005 will also feature a `Dubai Shipping & Logistics Conference 2005', organized by the Dubai Shipping Agents Association. Experts and the top brass of leading shipping companies will deliberate on latest technologies, market trends and growth patterns at these conferences.
Ship & Port Arabia 2005 will also see participation from Germany, Korea, Greece, Saudi, Iran, UK, USA to name a few. The exhibition has the support of the Dubai Shipping Agents Association and the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI).

U.S. Shipping Partners L.P
U.S. Shipping Partners L.P. (U.S. Shipping) is a provider of long-haul marine transportation services, principally for refined petroleum products, in the United States domestic coastwise trade. The Company is also involved in the coastwise transportation of petrochemical and commodity chemical products, as measured by fleet capacity. U.S. Shipping’s fleet consists of 11 tank vessels: six integrated tug barge units (ITBs), one product tanker, three chemical parcel tankers and articulated tug barge (ATB) unit. The Company’s primary customers are oil and chemical companies.
Integrated Tug Barge Unit Fleet
U.S Shipping began operations in September 2002, when it acquired its six ITBs from a division of Amerada Hess. The six ITBs primarily transport clean refined petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, jet fuel and lubricants, from refineries and storage facilities to a variety of destinations, including other refineries and distribution terminals. Three of the Company’s ITBs are operating under time charters, two are operating on consecutive voyage charters, and one is operating in the spot market. The Company’s ITB vessels are Jacksonville, Groton, New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Mobile. All six ITBs are sister vessels of the same design and built to the same specifications.
Product Tanker Fleet
The Company’s Houston vessel is a Jones Act coastwise double-hulled product tanker. The vessel is capable of carrying approximately 240,000 barrels of petroleum products. The vessel trades in clean petroleum products in the coastwise Jones Act trade, and the multi-year time charter, which began in June 2006, accounts for 100% of its usable capacity.
Parcel Tanker Fleet
U.S. Shipping’s parcel tankers carry specialty refined petroleum, petrochemical and commodity chemical products primarily from refineries, and chemical manufacturing plants and storage tank facilities along the coast of the United States Gulf of Mexico to industrial users in and around East Coast ports. The specialty refined petroleum products transported on its parcel tankers are generally not the types of refined petroleum products transported by its ITBs or its product tanker, but are products shipped in smaller volumes and used primarily in the manufacture of other products. Petrochemical and commodity chemical products transported by the Company’s parcel tankers consist primarily of paraxylene, caustic soda, alcohol, chlorinated solvents, alkylates, toluene and ethylene glycol. The Company owns three parcel tankers: the Chemical Pioneer, the Charleston and the Sea Venture.
The Chemical Pioneer has over 40 cargo segregations, and the Charleston and the Sea Venture each have over 20 cargo segregations, which are configured, strengthened and coated to handle various sized parcels of a variety of petroleum products and industrial chemicals. Its parcel tankers, the Chemical Pioneer, the Charleston and the Sea Venture, primarily transport specialty refined petroleum, petrochemical and commodity chemical products, such as lubricants, paraxylene, caustic soda and glycols, from refineries and petrochemical manufacturing facilities to other manufacturing facilities or distribution terminals.
Articulated Tug Barge Fleet
ATBs, similar to ITBs, consist of a tugboat (which provides propulsion) and a cargo-carrying barge using a coupling system that connects the two vessels. Unlike the rigid connection found on ITBs, an ATB uses a hinged connection. In July 2007, the Company completed construction and commenced commercial operations of its first ATB, the ATB Freeport. The ATB Freeport serves chemical customers. The ATB Freeport is under contracts of affreightment to transport commodity chemical products with specified minimum volumes that, together with a requirement that the customer ship any excess volume of the products covered by the contract on the ATB unit, are expected to utilize substantially all of such ATB unit’s anticipated capacity for 2008.

Bookings high for new Scotland to Europe ferry
Passenger tickets for the new Rosyth-Zeebrugge ferry route, the first sailing for which will be in May 2009, went on sale on 18 December and early sales are encouraging with bookings in place as far ahead as the end of October 2009, say operators Norfolkline. The service will operate three overnight sailings a week each way, and to ensure the route is viable, the price structure is based on two separate schemes for travellers with vehicles and foot passengers. The first is an inclusive cabin and vehicle package for up to four people and the second, for independent foot passengers, is based on either a reclining Pullman seat or a cabin for up to four people. Both schemes can be booked directly with Norfolkline , and package tours, organised by tour operators and agencies, are also available.The company said interest from potential freight customers is also high and commercial rates are in the process of being finalised, with freight bookings due to open in coming weeks. In total Norfolkline will create around 60 new jobs to service the route. These will be a mixture of on-board personnel, terminal service staff and a new local business management team based in Rosyth and Zeebrugge. Bas van Helden, Route Director of Scotland - Belgium Service of Norfolkline, Ferry Division, commented: "We are extremely encouraged by this overwhelming response to this new service; since releasing our passenger tickets we have been receiving over 100 enquiries a day. This is a great indication of things to come and we are confident this level of support will continue as our new service gets underway."Norfolkline announced its plans to reinstate the Rosyth - Zeebrugge route in September 2008 and have been working with clients, local industry and governments to provide a new, improved and sustainable service for this key link between Scotland and the Continent.The first Norfolkline sailing from Rosyth is planned for May 2009. Bookings can be made direct with Norfolkline online at www.norfolkline.com or via its tour operators and sales agents.¡Tickets for independent foot passengers, which are to be booked directly with Norfolkline, will be available from March.¡Passenger enquiries should be sent to pdepartment@norfolkline.com¡Freight enquiries should be sent to Wim Fossaert at ferrybookings@norfolkline.com
