1.30 Is Bigger Better?
"… the Hanjin Shipping Co. had agreed to lease a
375-acre terminal to be built on the site of the former Long Beach
Naval Base is just one example of the bigger-is-better trend sweeping
the port industry" Marine Digest, Apr 2000
- Shipping lines banding together, ports investing more into
ports, ships getting bigger - will the 'get bigger' trend continue
unabated?
- Does bigger mean better?
- Will service be compromised?
- Where does this put the smaller players?
- Capital investment made by ports - who share these fixed costs?
Capt Tan Hup Cheng, Regional Director
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
2.00 Co-opetition: Partnering with Rivals - Leveraging on the
Efficiencies of Your Competitors
"The balance between co-operation and competition
could best be described as a situation whereby there is 'as much
competition as possible and as much co-operation as necessary
to stay in business and to remain competitive" The Baltic
Supplement, World Ports, Mar 2000
- Is co-opetiton virtual competition or virtual cooperation
or just another way to manage competition?
- Who should you seek out as partners?
- How to leverage on each other's strength?
Mark Page, Research Director, Containers
Drewry Shipping Consultants Ltd, UK
2.30 Towards Globalisation - Meeting the Challenges of Today's
Demanding Customers Effectively
As more port operations and shipping companies go global, how
should ports stay competitive and meet the expectation of the
mega shipping companies? Balancing the universal obligations
and profitability will be a key issue as Asian ports look towards
mergers & acquisitions, corporatisations and privatisations.
Investors need to focus on return on investment in their ventures.
What can the industry expect from the new economy business environment?
