My dad used to work for a shipping company, and he told me about them. Recently, almost all shipping companies have either merged or sought partners. Is this a new era of consolidation, or just a crisis that small companies can't withstand? ZIM and Ray Shipping are also following this trend. What do you think about it?
Which company did your father work for? That's interesting. It seems that consolidation has indeed become the new norm. Freight rates have fallen, costs are rising, and it's difficult to survive without merging. Ray Shipping is seizing the moment to take control of a company with strong routes. I read the rumors about the Zim buyout rumors on the Gettransport blog. Apparently, in logistics, those who think big and work in partnerships have the advantage right now. Perhaps these kinds of alliances are shaping the future of transportation. I also think deals like this one can stabilize the market. It's not just about the crisis, it's also about survival.
