During the last half of the year and part of the present, different events related to the world of maritime transport have been taking place. After the bankruptcy of Hanjin and the bad situation that many other maritime transport companies were going through, we had advanced that a merger dance would begin in the medium term to keep the sector going and mergers have not been slow to start.
One of the most talked-about news of recent days has been the leading NYK, MOL and K Line, which will join in a joint venture under the name of Ocean Network Express and as has been stated, this new shipping company will begin operations from next April 1, 2018.
From these three shipping companies have advanced that the agreement that has arrived, will allow them to integrate their container divisions which also includes the terminals with which they have all over the world, while the headquarters of this new joint venture will remain in Japan.
Speaking to specialized media have declared that the main objective of this new alliance is to extend its influence with the addition of an operator in Singapore, where they will also have offices. They will also have presence in the Chinese region of Hong Kong as well as in London as well as Virginia (United States) and in the Brazilian city of São Paulo.
This new joint venture is said to have a great facility to better adapt to the needs of its customers today. They intend to provide them with competitive services of the highest quality and this will be achieved, always according to official statements, thanks to the consolidation and improvement of what is the structure and global network of their specific container lines.
From the Japanese shipping company MOL, they have taken the opportunity to present one of their latest projects. They have developed an autonomous system of maritime transport in which they have worked with the Japanese company Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding. This project has already been selected by the Ministry of Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan for its FY 2017 program that will be based on the Promotion of Technology and Research in Transportation.
Industry experts and analysts say that this will not be the only merger we will see during this year, as we had anticipated at the end of last 2016, something that will encourage the maritime transport sector, which is not going through one of its best moments.
