國際貨櫃航運之特殊櫃專案研究

Due to the market situation, the shipping industry is now facing a huge challenge of unbalance in supply and demand sides. After 2006, more and more shipping companies start to build the vessels with large capacity because they think the bigger the better. With the new technology of efficient dynamics, more fuel cost can be saved even with the huge size of the vessel. However, with the impact of financial tsunami, the demand for cargo shipping is much lower than the capacity supply from the carriers. Besides, the ocean freights are hardly to increase because of serious competitive between carriers. Hence, the only way to raise the revenue is to cherry pick the cargo and find the high revenue products.
Besides, according to the research, 2015 is still a tough year for the shipping industry because of the low freight rates in general cargo and over supply for the space capacity. Therefore, I plan to create a project team to focus on special equipment transportation only in my company, which can help the clients with the packing, inland haulage, customs declaration, and ocean shipping tills the final destination. Our target for example, out of gauge machines, flight simulators, and factory facilities…those over size cargos. I believe customers will care more about the safety while shipping than the price, so the profit will be higher than the standard size cargo. Besides, with fewer competitors in the marketplace, we can create our irreplaceable value in such niche market.
