evergreen in oakland port investment 76 million us dollars
Recently, Evergreen Shipping's terminal operations subsidiary Everport Services in Oakland Port invested 76 million US dollars.
Although Evergreen Company for confidentiality, and did not release further information, but this is this month the third known Evergreen shipping in the port terminal business investment!
Last week, Evergreen not only acquired Rotterdam Port Euromax Terminal 20% of the shares, but also opened in Kaohsiung Port investment in the construction of the seventh container center!
Drury Maritime Financial Research Analyst Aditi Niranjan said that many mainline operators have acquired a number of terminal assets to use their new crown-driven boom to accumulate huge cash reserves to increase business diversification.
She said: "As the business diversifies, these terminal assets will help improve their overall business model resilience."
In addition to Evergreen, Hapag-Lloyd and Dafei followed the same path.
It is understood that Hapag-Lloyd acquired a 40% stake in India's J M Baxi Ports & Logistics terminal and took over SM SAAM's port and logistics operations.
The company acquired GCT Bayonne and GCT New York terminals, expanding its U. S.-based seven terminals.
Xeneta chief analyst Peter Sand said that while liner operators own terminals, if those terminals also serve outside operators, the situation can be tricky.
"The terminal business's competitive environment is quite intense. If the non-alliance operators feel they are being treated badly, they will definitely end their relationship with the EU."
