Throughout the entire international shipping industry, there is a shipping company that has always been a unique and exemplary existence. It focuses on its own advantages and achieves excellence and excellence in multiple dimensions such as service density, schedule punctuality and service level. *, this is the Taiwanese shipping company - Wan Hai!
Therefore, when the industry thinks about the three dimensions of which shipping companies have the highest punctuality rate, which shipping companies have the best service level, and which shipping companies have the best profitability, other than OOCL , Wan Hai Shipping has become a must-have choice!
Regarding the analysis of this excellent shipping company, Souhang has published an analysis article before:
Let's see what "shocking" move this awesome Taiwan shipping company has made the industry!
Today, according to the tracking data of Souhang.com*** after this year, let’s take a look at Wan Hai’s outstanding data this year from another dimension. This will show Wan Hai’s unconventional path from another angle Unique strategy!
According to the tracking data of sofreight.com in the past year, in the environment where the entire shipping industry is obsessed with building large ships and expanding its capacity, Wan Hai has found a new way to frequently and vigorously purchase container shipping companies Another lifeline of the company - to purchase and expand its own container reserves!
From August 11 this year to November 27, in just a few months, Wan Hai purchased a total of about 149,850 Teu of containers in five times, with a total investment of 223 million US dollars.
The following is the official announcement of the five container purchases announced by Wan Hai Shipping:
▲On August 11, invested 75.11 million US dollars and purchased 38,000 Teu
▲On August 14, invested 38.56 million US dollars and purchased 12,050 containers
▲On November 9, invested 11.59 million US dollars and purchased 52,300 Teu
▲On November 24, invested 33.12 million US dollars and purchased 8,500 cabinets
▲On November 27, invested 64.61 million US dollars and purchased 19,150 cabinets
With regard to Wan Hai’s strategy of investing and storing containers in large quantities in the past five months, according to a number of top analysts in the industry, they have expressed extremely high evaluations, and expressed the following opinions in unison:
1. As far as the entire industry is concerned, the purchase cost of containers is relatively low now, and the return on investment of stocking self-owned containers will not be lower than that of ordering container ships
2. Through these several purchases of a large number of container ships, Wan Hai Shipping not only stands out in this data this year, but also from the perspective of the ratio of the shipping capacity of major shipping companies to only containers, Wan Hai will also become the highest average for its own containers and ample shipping companies
3. There are two well-known rules in the international shipping industry:
One is that each shipping company can expand its own capacity by purchasing, exchanging and sharing (in the current situation of oversupply of capacity in the industry and vicious competition of large ships, it is easier and cheaper to obtain external capacity),
The second is that the shipping capacity between shipping companies can be sold, shared or borrowed, but their own containers are not borrowed goods! (Except for a few container rental companies whose business is so good that the supply is in short supply, and similar CNCs that can use the containers of the parent company CMA after being acquired by CMA)
Comparing the two industry rules and the current status of industry capacity, you can tell at a glance which is better!
Of course, this has not yet mentioned the customer experience: there is no low or peak season, if you can get the shipping space, you can get the container, how arrogant it would be, and customers who like ta should be secretly laughing!
