CONTAINER TERMINAL MARKET GROWS 4.5% BY THE YEAR 2015-08-26 Drewry Consultants states in its "Global Container Terminal Operators Annual Report 2015": the demand for container terminals will grow at an annual rate of 4.5% until 2019. The increase in global container traffic (850 million TEU in 2019), the gigantism of new ships and mega-alliances between operators will force terminal operators to invest more and more in increased capacity, highlights the consultant. PSA International (much due to what they are doing in Singapore), APM Terminals and DP World (these two very active in the development from scratch of new projects) will be the companies that will increase their capacity in absolute terms, calculates Drewry. Next will be, in this particular ranking, the Hutchison Port Holdings, the Cosco Group, the CMA CGM, the TIL, the ICTSI and China Merchants. |
