This company was born in Viking and later embarked on the right path of shipping. Its headquarters is in Copenhagen. It is a six-story building with elevators, but few people take elevators. Because the big boss has to climb the stairs to his office on the sixth floor every day, no one dares to sit and climb the stairs. Millske is known for his arrogance, rigidity and reputation, and the tax paid accounts for 40% of the Danish government's income. He is a giant cow in Denmark. Its expatriates are famous for their low quality. For example, Su Enshen, the general manager of China, used to be a Danish boot card driver. It is said that the education column in his resume has been empty. However, Mearsk has high requirements for new employees, which are divided into employees and trainees. The former is an ordinary employee, and the latter will go to the Danish headquarters for several months of intensive training (it is cruel, the teaching materials are as thick as words, there are three books), and then they will be sent to work all over the world. Finally, regardless of gender, they will be trained on the ship for half a year, and then entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Maersk specializes in big customers, but he doesn't care about small companies. The service level is not high. Some customers say that their employees can't even do an EXCEL form well. But the company is really big, and it has acquired SEALAND and P & amp； After O, the market share has reached about 25%. Very big .................................................................................................................................................... ...... o, APL also joined the competition and negotiated for almost a period of time, but Maersk took out billions of dollars in cash according to APL's bid, and APL, who was preparing for P &' s installment payment, was speechless ... Finally, of course, the richest young man married a beautiful wife ... It suddenly occurred to Maersk that it seemed that it had acquired SEALAND and and P &, the fourth largest shipping company in the world. O ranked fourth when I bought it. Who will be next?
2. Mediterranean Shipping Company
A money laundering agency of European society B, registered in Switzerland. It is said that MSC went to the shipyard to build a ship like this: several people were sent to pack a lot of cash in a big suitcase. After negotiating the contract with the shipyard, I opened the suitcase, pointed out a certain proportion of cash from it, and then gave the rest to the shipyard, saying that I took my commission. This is the deposit, so sign the contract. The names of MSC ships are mostly girls' names, such as Lolita and Famia. MSC has never been integrated with other companies, with huge ships, extremely low freight and poor service. I seldom rent boxes. I always rent my own boxes.
3. Evergreen Shipping Company
Zhang Rongfa's 40-year efforts have led to very chaotic management. The reason is that Zhang Rongfa has too many wives, and his wife naturally has more sons. Boss Zhang has six sons and two daughters, so many children have to arrange jobs, but none of them are in tune except the second son. The children fight with each other, which is very tragic. Evergreen is a joint-stock company, controlled by Zhang Rongfa, but it also has other people's shares. When the shipping market was in the lowest ebb, Zhang Rongfa registered Li Rong with his own money to prevent the evergreen tree from suddenly falling down. But then the market got better and better, and evergreen trees got better and better, so evergreen trees bought Li Rong at a high price, and Zhang Rongfa himself made a fortune. Later, in order to operate direct flights between the two sides of the strait, we continued to acquire Italy Post and made direct flights in the name of European companies. HASU Shipping (an absolute insider) was established last year, because in 2006, the production capacity of Evergreen will be increased by 40% and the risks will be dispersed.
4. COSCO COSCO
Cosco is the second navy of China and enjoys the most favorable shipping policy of the country. We have more contacts with COSCO Container Transportation Company. In the past two years, the shipping market has been booming, but CIMC has not made any money. The main reason is that CIMC's freight rate system is too chaotic, and special price applications are flying all over the sky. Almost every application has a backstage, and the supervisor has to approve it. Cosco, as an established state-owned enterprise, has many problems in its management system, such as low crew income. Legend has it that when Wei Jiafu, the current group president, was transferred from Singapore to Tianyuan as the general manager, his luggage in Singapore was brought to Tianjin by COSCO container ship. The crew heard that these things were led by an important leader above, so they did not hesitate to throw all the treasures in the big box into the sea. There are many shareholders and cultural relics in the box. It is said that Cosco was more harsh on the crew after this. Some time ago, COSCO established Pan-Asian Shipping, and all the near-ocean routes were incorporated into the banner of Pan-Asia. Cosco's main monograph is to do a good job in global ocean routes. Cosco is also the Whampoa Military Academy of contemporary China shipping industry. Many people in the shipping industry who want to be big have served in COSCO. This phenomenon also illustrates another problem: COSCO is like a piece of fat meat. Those who have the ability are willing to take a big bite and eat slowly elsewhere. How many millionaires COSCO has created is unknown.
5. P & Lloyd A Tiehang tied flowers.
Procter & gamble company. O and Nedlloyd were originally two companies, P & amp； O is the famous Peninsula and the East. Anyone who has studied maritime law knows the Himalayan clause (which is on the back of every bill of lading), and the earliest case was made by this company. 1997 (it seems to be about this time), the two companies took out the container business and established a joint venture with Tiexing Zhahua. This company adheres to the steady style of European craftsmanship. Although it has nothing to praise, it has no annoying shortcomings. Unlike Maersk, there is a natural sense of superiority, and all the rules must be observed by themselves. In fact, Maersk suffered the most when the shipping market was depressed. Companies like Tiexing Zhahua are different, just one word: stable!
6.CMA CGM
Fei Da's original name is CMA, which means national ocean or something (A stands for forgotten), and now Fei Da's full name is CMA-CGM. What happened? Here's the thing. There is a post saying that CMA is a French company, which is true, but the boss of CMA is Lebanese, that is, the boss of CGM. CMA owes CGM a lot of money in history, so it was acquired by CGM, but CMA is more famous in the industry than CGM, so the name of the new company is CMA -CGM. CMA is an F&D European company with excellent management methods. Let's just say that CMA's profit margin and space utilization rate are the highest among the top 20 liner companies in the lowest shipping market. In addition, CMA is also very successful in capital operation. In addition to CMA, CMA was also acquired by ANL (Australian National Shipping), but CMA's high point is that it only acquired ANL trunk business, while some port and branch business ANL was taken care of by Wanrong Shipping, that is, only fat meat was needed, not bones. CMA also has advantages on African routes. Please look at the specific reasons when talking about CMA.
7. Canada Pacific Canada Pacific (some people will mistake it for Taiping Shipping)
Commonly known as CP, Canada Pacific, CP is Canada's largest railway operating company, state-owned. This company made a lot of money. If it can make more money, what should we do? Of course, I won't build a ship like MSC. MSC comes from the wrong source, and it's all cash, so CP doesn't have to launder money. So it bought a shipping company and three other companies, Canada Shipping, TMM and Lykes, which are collectively called CP, but they are listed separately. By the way, the Chinese names of the above three companies are Canadian Shipping, Mexican Steamship and Lake. CP China's General Representative and Deputy General Representative are middle-aged ladies, Hong Kong people, full of charm.
8.PIL Taiping Shipping
The relationship between Singapore Taiping Shipping and China, especially the Ministry of Communications of China, is very unusual. Before the opening up, the Ministry of Communications found many things that could not be shipped out or reached places in China, and Taiping did it. Therefore, after the opening up, Taiping was the first liner company to obtain domestic business qualifications. The business of Taiping Group is divided into three parts, namely, three subsidiaries, namely, a shipping company, a container factory (container building) and a logistics company. Taiping is also a family company. The founder, the old gentleman (forgot), gave three companies to two sons to run.
9.OOCL·OOCL
OOCL has never used this name before. Formerly known as Jinshan Shipping Company, its founder was Dong Haoyun. Maybe no one knows him, but everyone knows Tung Chee-hwa. Dong Haoyun is his father. 1947, Dong Haoyun's ship became the first China merchant ship to reach the other side of the Atlantic and Europe. Later, it continued to develop regular passenger and cargo business in the name of Jinshan Shipping Company.
1969, the container transportation industry rose, and Jinshan steamship was renamed OOCL container shipping. At that time, "Victory" class ships could only carry 300 TEUs, which could not be compared with today's super Panama ocean container ships. In the second quarter of 2003, the operation of two super-large ships will make the maximum throughput of OOCL container ships reach 7,700 TEUs. 1982, Mr. Dong Haoyun died, and his son, Mr. Tung Chee-hwa, was in charge of OOCL parent company OOCL (International) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "OOCL") for 14 years. 1996, after Mr. Tung Chee-hwa was elected as the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, his younger brother, Mr. Dong Jiancheng, took over as the chairman of OOCL.
10, Hanjin Hanjin
It was not until the early 1990s that South Korea established diplomatic relations with us. Therefore, Hanjin set up representative offices in China, Shanghai, Tianjin, Dalian, Qingdao, Beijing and other places in 1993, and vigorously carried out business activities in China. However, Hanjin is still one of the few foreign shipping companies that first entered the shipping market in China. Today, Hanjin has successfully acquired 80% equity of German Victory Shipping Company from 1997. Shengli Shipping has a perfect service network and a loyal customer base in Europe. In this way, Hanjin has great advantages in the Mediterranean and European routes, and has great strength and energy to compete with other ships for the US route. In fact, Hanjin Shipping is only one of Hanjin Group. Hanjin Group focuses on shipping, land transportation and air transportation, and then focuses on the diversified development of logistics-related industries. Now it has become a manufacturer of transportation machinery and equipment and a provider of information and communication services. Korean Air is a well-known name, right? Because of its connection with Hanjin Group, Korean Air is the only freight company in the world that integrates land transportation, sea transportation and air transportation. This is the unique advantage of their "overpass" The "air bridge" is a cooperative body of three modes of transportation by land, sea and air, providing record-breaking connection time and high-quality price. Through the joint efforts of Hanjin Land Transportation Company, Hanjin Shipping Company and Korean Air, this service can save up to 65% of the general air transportation costs. Now, this "air bridge" provides the shortest and most economical route for Chinese mainland and other destinations in Asia. Korean Air, as the pioneer of Hanjin Group's Air Transport Department, is striving to become one of the top airlines in the world in 2 1 century.
1 1.NYK
(Japan Post Co., Ltd.) is actually very good and even has the opportunity to surpass Maersk. Look at the last words. NYK's ro-ro and bulk cargo businesses are among the best in the industry, and NYK's ro-ro fleet is the largest in the world. At the same time, NYK's fleet of bulk carriers and tankers is also the second largest in the world. Most of the ro-ro transportation is the export of their cars, a large part of which is China, and of course, the United States. Nyk has existed since NYK 1870, and now it has changed many names. The earliest name was Tsukumo Shanghai Shipping Company, and later it was called Sanchuan Shanghai. Later, Mitsubishi Corporation did not start its first international route until 1875, that is, with China, from Yokohama to Shanghai. Then it was called Mitsubishi Kisen, and then Mitsubishi Mail Company basically did business with us for a long time in China, many ports, Tianjin and so on. Later, it developed to Southeast Asia, the Philippines and other places. At that time, it was the time when the Qing Dynasty fell. Alas, it breaks my heart to mention it. At the beginning, he was hunted by Yuan Shikai, and Liang Qichao fled to Japan, that is, by Japanese boat. Liang Qichao and his party left Shanghai for Hong Kong by the Yokohama Maru, a Japanese post company. 19 16, March 7, the ship arrived in Hong Kong. Entrusted by Yuan, the British Hong Kong authorities immediately sent a patrol to board the ship for search. Liang Qichao narrowly escaped at the bottom of the boat. In the next two days, the Japanese military attache in Guangdong, the consul in Hong Kong, the head of the mail boat club and Mitsui Foreign Firm all went to visit Liang under the cabin, with a cordial attitude. On March 12, Liang Qichao disguised himself as a Japanese and sneaked into Miaoyi Yamamaru in a small steamer. On this shabby and dirty coal carrier, the Japanese have already arranged clean and comfortable exquisite rooms for Liang, and the food supply is particularly rich. On March 15, the ship arrived at Hongya, a coal-producing area near Haiphong, Vietnam. In order to avoid the French colonial authorities' raid, a Japanese businessman and two Japanese women had been waiting here for a long time, taking advantage of the dark night rain to cover Liang Qichao sneaking onto his yacht. Then they pretended to be sightseeing and wandered around the sea for a day and a night, and finally arrived at Haiphong on the night of 16. Hengshan hid Liang Qichao in his pasture. Here, Liang Qichao suffered from an extremely dangerous fever. Liang Qichao might have died in a foreign land if he hadn't treated Hengshan with herbs in time. Ten days later, Liang Qichao entered Guangxi through the town of Nanguan.
13. President of the United States
Everyone is called "American General", but it is actually controlled by Singapore. 1997 17 On April 3rd, NOL of Singapore formally signed an agreement with APL of the United States, and NOL will acquire all the shares of APL. NOL will have a total of *** 1 13 ships, including all the production capacity of APL, with a total turnover of over USD 4 billion. In this way, NOL jumped from the original ranking 15 to the fifth largest shipping company in the world. APL has been engaged in transportation and logistics business for a long time and is one of the best shipping companies in the United States. It has an unquestionable position on the trans-Pacific route and occupies a considerable share in the Asian shipping market. The Pacific route is the development goal of NOL, and the addition of APL makes this goal come true.
The biggest advantage of the merger of NOL and APL lies in its huge brand equity and foreign market. After the merger, APL still retains the company name and company logo, the management department is still located in Auckland, and the fleet continues to operate as an American ship. Not only that, NOL also brought its container fleet into the name of APL and participated in the market competition in the name of APL. According to relevant statistics, the sales return rate of APL has reached 16.8%.
If we push the time forward ten years, APL will also attract the attention of the industry. Encouraged by the gratifying growth of its Pacific route business, APL ordered the first 4300 TEU "C-10" class container ship, which was the largest container ship in the world at that time and caused a great sensation. However, due to the wide hull of this series, it is impossible to pass through the Panama Canal, which once again triggered criticism. Even so, the battle to build a giant ship triggered by APL's move has intensified since then.
14.YML Yangming
Yangming attaches great importance to the growth of employees. It is said that you don't have to punch in to work in Yangming. I wonder if this is true. In Yangming's words, "Only with excellent employees can there be a progressive Yangming". The treatment is also relatively cool, at least that's what their human resources management claims: generous salary, so that colleagues have no worries. Fixed annual salary 14 months (including Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival bonus * * *), and work contribution bonus and employee bonus are distributed according to the annual surplus. Employee stock ownership trust-Fixed subsidies to buy company shares are superior to statutory retirement and pension systems. Perfect benefits of Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, Labor Day gifts and birthday gifts: encourage colleagues to work, family and leisure. Twenty-six clubs with professional teachers, such as mountaineering, photography, yoga, bowling, cooking, basketball and so on. , are made up of colleagues. They hold domestic and foreign tours twice a year (spring and autumn), and also provide subsidies for self-help tours at home and abroad. In addition to special annual leave, they also have five days of paid sick leave, children's education subsidies and scholarships every year.
Give commemorative gold ornaments every tenth wedding anniversary, pay attention to the physical and mental health of colleagues, have a comfortable and safe working environment, and regularly check the quality of air and drinking water.
The company has a gym with fitness equipment, badminton, billiards and other equipment. There is also a staff canteen to provide healthy and nutritious lunches for colleagues.
The company uniformly insures group accident insurance for colleagues.
In fact, YML's relationship with China's Ministry of Communications is also very special, because YML was founded by Li Hongzhang and was the product of China Merchants' visit to Taiwan Province Province. Therefore, the relationship between YML and China Merchants is also special. (Chinese mainland China Merchants Group's position in the transportation industry should be beyond words. Unfortunately, YML has been a "state-owned enterprise" in Taiwan Province Province for many years, and its primary task is to ensure the transportation demand of the "country". In particular, to ensure that the strategic transportation needs of the "country" can be guaranteed in case of war. Therefore, YML's business strategy has not been market-oriented for many years. In addition, its investment in the mainland is greatly restricted, because it is a government enterprise in Taiwan Province Province. It was not until the joint-stock reform began in recent years that 8,000 EU superships were ordered in South Korea for the first time (previously, Taiwan Province Province stipulated that YML could only order shipyards from China Shipyard in Taiwan Province Province).
World-renowned shipping companies have only recently entered China, so it is difficult to find a landlord.
Sorry, I missed it.
President of the United States
Everyone is called "American General", but it is actually controlled by Singapore. 1997 17 On April 3rd, NOL of Singapore formally signed an agreement with APL of the United States, and NOL will acquire all the shares of APL. NOL will have a total of *** 1 13 ships, including all the production capacity of APL, with a total turnover of over USD 4 billion.

However, due to the wide hull of this series, it is impossible to pass through the Panama Canal, which once again triggered criticism. Even so, the battle to build a giant ship triggered by APL's move has intensified since then.
China's long-standing love affair cleared the way.
As early as 1867, the Colorado, the predecessor of APL Pacific Post Company, set off from San Francisco and made an expedition to Asia, opening regular air routes from the United States to Yokohama and Hong Kong, Japan, and sailing branch services from Yokohama to Shanghai. At this point, China has become an important stop on the APL shipping map. In the next hundred years, APL's business in China has been growing: 1896, direct flights to Shanghai opened; 1978, set up a branch in Taiwan Province province; 1979, APL's cargo ships docked at Dalian Port and Qingdao Port again; 1984, the company was established in Hong Kong; 1988, set up an office in Tianjin; 1992, APL (China) co., ltd was established. Today, APL has a strong sales and service network in China, with 39 branches and offices covering Shanghai, Beijing, Dalian, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen and other cities.
Mr Ryan emphasized that the China market has always been in an irreplaceable position in APL's global operation strategy, which is of course related to its long history. But APL pays more attention to the rapid development of China, especially with the continuous opening of Chinese mainland market, China's economy will increasingly rely on shipping and logistics, which is a huge business opportunity for APL. To this end, APL decisively moved the Greater China Management Office from Hong Kong to Shanghai to take charge of the business in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao Special Administrative Region and Taiwan Province Province. At present, more than 40% of APL's global turnover comes from Greater China.
In August 2006, APL opened an all-water weekly route -EC3 to the east coast of the United States. With the gateway port of Shanghai and its huge multimodal transport network, EC3 has extended APL services to several major production bases in China, including the rapidly developing Yangtze River Delta. Mr Ryan said: "The opening of EC3 is just the right time. With the increasing trade volume from the Yangtze River Delta to the east coast of the United States, the demand for shipping space on all-water routes is increasingly in short supply. EC3 is another fast and reliable route that APL customers are eager to open. "
Take charge of the excellent service system
Mr Ryan said confidently, "The perfect service system makes APL stand out in the highly competitive China market. Whether it is high-tech equipment, spare parts, raw materials, fashion clothes or even fresh products, we will ensure that the goods are intact and delivered to the destination on time. "
APL's global leading transportation capacity provides "hardware" guarantee for its quality service, thus ensuring the safe and punctual delivery of goods to all parts of the world. APL has incomparable competitive advantages in many aspects, such as global shipping and multimodal transport network, terminal management and operation in eight important regions around the world, and priority in the use of major ports in China. In addition, APL has more than 450,000 containers circulating around the world, ensuring that the requirements of China customers for container size and configuration can be met anytime and anywhere.
In addition to the unique "hardware" conditions in transportation capacity, APL's excellent service is also reflected in the "software" configuration that provides customers with flexible and diverse transportation options. APL has a team of high-quality shipping professionals, who are very familiar with the transportation knowledge of major goods in clothing, automobile, chemical industry, electronics, retail and other industries, and can provide a variety of targeted and constructive choices according to the needs of different customers, and stand in the customer's position to help customers make the best choice and protect their interests. "We can always find the right solution for our customers." Mr. Ryan said.
Superb information technology navigation
Throughout the development process from 65438 to 050, APL has always advocated innovation. "Promoting business development through innovative solutions" on the homepage of APL website fully shows APL's emphasis on innovation. Last year, APL was once again selected as one of the top 500 scientific and technological innovations selected by Information Weekly. Mr. Ryan said: "APL hopes to achieve self-development by leading industry innovation, and is also willing to share innovation results with customers, thus promoting the development of customers' business. "
The rapid development of science and technology has added "innovative wings" to APL. APL makes full use of electronic information exchange service, wireless Internet, box cargo information tracking and supply chain management to provide innovative shipping business solutions for customers. Among them, APL's HomePort is the first network system in the industry that can provide customers with independent inquiries. It features electronic bill of lading and box cargo information tracking function, and is a network operation platform integrating the functions of booking space, bill of lading, shipping schedule and cargo tracking. Customers can check and verify information through it, print bills of lading in their own offices, and forward relevant information directly to banks or consignees through e-mail, saving time and effort. The container cargo information tracking system can facilitate customers to check the real-time shipping schedule online after booking the space online, quickly grasp the cargo detention and expenses, and communicate directly with professional customer service representatives in time. This way of customer supervision not only greatly improves efficiency, but also effectively reduces operating costs.
In addition, APL's wireless communication technology and automatic fax service have become efficient communication tools for shippers besides telephone, computer, automatic voice reply and electronic data exchange.
Complementary advantages, Meijia Logistics sails and sails.
With the rapid development of China's economy, APL is also clearly aware that customers' demand for logistics and supply chain management will continue to increase. Under the double catalysis of the unlimited business opportunities in China market and the urgent needs of China customers, 1997 Meiji Logistics & Transportation (China) Co., Ltd. came into being with its headquarters in Shanghai. At this point, APL has formed a development model that shipping and logistics complement each other and go hand in hand in China. No wonder Mr. Ryan emphasized more than once in the interview that "APL's shipping is backed by strong logistics services, which can help customers solve their worries, which is another big advantage for us to be invincible in the fierce competition."
In order to realize the perfect connection of transportation chain, logistics companies must cooperate with local transportation departments such as railways and highways, and let customers enjoy more efficient and flexible services through rational allocation of resources and strategic arrangements. This industry principle is no exception in China. Mr. Ryan said that Meiji Logistics has taken a series of effective measures to extend the transportation network to the underdeveloped areas in China, and establishing business alliances with East China Railway Express and Shenyang Transportation Group is one of the important measures. With the continuous development and expansion of this local cooperative relationship, Mercure Logistics will provide "one-stop" service for intercontinental and inland transportation.
I hope it works for you ... I'm tired. Oh, 9 158, I hope it will help you!
