Containerization of trade, and access to containerized transport services are important
determinants of countries’
trade competitiveness
How can we measure this?
Containers for trade

Trends in Connectivity
Until very recently:In spite of the (global) process
of concentration, the number of companiesproviding (local) services increased due to the
expansion of global players into (so far) new markets
Today:As global players are (now) covering all regions of
the world, mergers among them (start to) lead to a reduction of competition on individual routes.
Brief Analysis
“The long term picture as regards the global liner shipping network appears to be mixed.
•
On the positive side, larger ships and a higher total TEU carrying capacity can cater for the
growing global trade in manufactured goods, and economies of scale help to reduce costs.”
“…On the other hand, the larger ships also pose a challenge to smaller ports as regards the
necessary investments in infrastructure. The network as such is not expanding in terms of companies or services.
•
The trend seems to be towards lower costs but also less choice for shippers.”
Long term trends
