Global container market demand growth
Despite a negative global container shipping market growth rate in 2009, partially due to the global financial crisis, global container market demand growth reached its peak the following year. Over the past decade, the container penetration in international maritime transport increased by almost 10 percent. This increase symbolizes the use and importance of intermodal containers in maritime transportation in order to transfer, transport or trade cargo. In terms of value, containerized cargo accounts for about 60 percent of all world seaborne trade, and international seaborne trade carried by container ships grew to more than 1.5 billion tons loaded in 2013.
The world’s leading container shippers include the Danish company APM-Maersk, the Swiss company Mediterranean Shg Co and the French company CMA CGM Group. APM-Maersk is the world’s leading container ship operator with a fleet of over 600 container ships. APM’s terminal segment is counted among the leading marine terminal operators worldwide. Marine terminal operators provide management services for ports. The port of Shanghai is the busiest container port in the world. In 2013, about 33.6 million twenty-foot equivalent units were handled here.
