A nice analytical piece from Linton Nightingale of Lloyd's List looking at the winners/losers amongst European/Mediterranean ports and terminals from the upcoming shipping alliance reshuffle. Essentially, a port hosting terminals in which these majors have a shareholding is good, and is clearly shown here. The article includes contributions from the Dynamar B.V. terminals database (and a certain analyst).

We are facing a year of enormous challenges in which the future of Europe is at stake. If we want to protect our values, build a strong and competitive region, and drive prosperity for all while leaving no one behind, we must act now. There is no more time to lose because many obstacles are compromising the true potential of the European Single Market.     It is time to renew our commitment to ensuring that Europe remains the best place in the world to learn, work and live. A digital, connected, innovative Europe. A Europe that has been exporting social values, a way of life, a way of creating a better society. We must do so again because it is legitimate and necessary to regain leadership on the global stage.     I fully endorse the European Round Table for Industry - ERT's call to action. Let's all act together and let's do it now! https://lnkd.in/dqjrAZSJ

SHIPPING LINES RESTRICT NAC (NAMED ACCOUNT) SPACE AS GLOBAL TRADE LANE REVENUES OUTSTRIP OCEANIA! Some are calling it "Baby Covid". Regardless of the tag line, it comes down to supply and demand. Shipping lines doing what's best for themselves and everyone else pays! It is still only June, yet the combination of global conflicts and political games has shipping lines "rushing to the pay window" with a raft of General Rate Increases and Peak Season Surcharges. There are already numerous instances of direct client and forwarder Named Account Deals (NAC's) being ripped up or space restricted to the extent that many are now unworkable. The economics of the situation are simple ............ IF A SHIPPING LINE CAN ACHIEVE 2, 3 EVEN 4 TIMES MORE REVENUE ELSWHERE, THAT IS WHERE THEY WILL SEND SHIPS & EQUIPMENT. Welcome to the next episode of Australia’s great supply chain challenge! Thanks as always to the Freight & Trade Alliance - One of our valuable industry advocate groups. Keep fighting the good fight FTA! Paul Zalai

Thanks SAIBPP PROPERTY ORGANISATION for leading the way. 30 years later, only 5% of the commercially viable land is owned by black people. How can you and I contribute towards #Levelling the playing field”. Sure, we cannot change the past, but the conversations we have today stands a better chance to predict the future.…and history will judge us on what we did today! “We see a transformed property industry with equitable black ownership”. We have it in us to level the playing field, by #creating value, #carrying one another, #advocating for transformation, #capture the value and repeat!
