B. TERMINAL OPERATIONS
The container terminal industry is a very fragmented
business. Despite this there are several international
players that have expanded to achieve a global
presence. Table 4.3 lists the top 10 global terminal
operators by container throughput and market
share. Together these top 10 global container
terminals control around 224 million TEU, that is,
around 37 per cent of the world’s container port
throughput that is depicted in table 4.1.
Despite weak growth in port throughput volumes
compared to the pre-economic-crisis levels, the
terminal operating sector is very active. Several global
terminal operators have sold part of their stakes as
they seek to streamline and focus their operations.
Terminal operators closely linked to shipping links,
such as APM Terminal and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, have
sold terminals, while traditional terminal operators
such as DP World and Stevedoring Services of
America have attempted to strengthen their position
by focusing on investment. The smaller ICTSI
terminal operator has also sold terminals; however,
this is no doubt due to the growth of these terminals
and the focus of the company to invest in small and
medium-sized terminals.
