Complete works of famous Chinese and foreign shipping companies

The famous shipping companies in the world mainly include:

1, Maersk: This company originated 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 famous for his arrogance, rigidity and credibility. Its tax revenue accounts for 40% of the Danish government's income, and it is a giant cow in Denmark.

2.MSC: the money laundering agency of European underworld, 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, counted a certain percentage of cash from it, and then handed the rest to the shipyard, saying that I took my commission. This is the deposit. Sign the contract. MSC ship names are mostly female 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 EMC: 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. There are many contradictions between the children, 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.

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 offshore routes were incorporated into Pan-Asia. The main body of COSCO Container Lines is specialized in global ocean-going 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. Tiexing Zhahua: P & amp； O and Nedlloyd were originally two companies, P & amp； A is the famous "Peninsula and the East". Anyone who has studied maritime law knows the Himalayan clause (which is printed 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! However, P & amp； Oh, it was acquired by Ma Lao in 2007.

6. Fei Da steamship: The original name of Fei Da is CMA, which means national ocean or something (A stands for forgotten), and now the full name of Fei Da is CMA-CGM. What happened? 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 atypical 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: 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 Shipping and Lex. CP China's General Representative and Deputy General Representative are middle-aged ladies, Hong Kong people, full of charm.

8. 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. China shipping. This is 1997. At that time, the Ministry of Communications forcibly merged Dalian, Guangzhou and Shanghai maritime bureaus through administrative orders. Known as "China Shipping Group", President Li is the former vice president of COSCO Group and the father of China Container (then the general manager of Shangyuan). Because he fights with his cousin (Chen Zhongbiao, former president and current chairman of COSCO Group) every day, he is very depressed. 1997 At the beginning of the company's establishment, President Li set the development goal: containers. Dozens of bulk carriers of Guangzhou Maritime Safety Administration were transformed into container ships (now all the ships of Zhonghai Xiangzi were transformed by exciting series at that time). These ships are old and broken, and the fixed assets have been recovered, so the cost of making a fixed asset is very low. After the transformation, it was leased to CSCL at a very low rent (completely symbolic), which not only increased the transportation capacity, but also reduced the cost of Guang Hai. That is to say, these ships started, and China Shipping started coastal container transportation and offshore routes. Taking advantage of the downturn in the shipping market and the low rent in the chartering market, we quietly rented a group of ships with more than 2000TEU, opened European and Mediterranean routes, and began to go to the ocean market. President Li's unique and sophisticated business practices are necessary, and the leap-forward development of China Shipping is very inseparable from President Li's personal ability.

10、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. Logistics circle, graduation thesis of logistics major, China, logistics 1969, container transportation industry rose, and Jinshan ship 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.

1 1, 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 developed into a cool action, that is, it successfully acquired 80% equity of German Shengli 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.

In fact, Hanjin Shipping is only a part 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.

12、NYK

(Japan Post Co., Ltd.) is actually very good and even has the opportunity to surpass Maersk.

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 in the world, and most of the ro-ro transportation is the export of their cars, a large part of which is China.

13.APL language

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 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:

The generous salary allows colleagues to have no worries. The fixed annual salary is 65,438+04 months (including the bonus of Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival * * *), and the work contribution bonus and employee bonus are distributed according to the annual surplus. Employee stock ownership trust-Fixed subsidy for buying company shares. Retirement and pension systems are superior to laws. Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival gifts, Labor Day gifts and birthday gifts. Perfect welfare: encourage colleagues to realize the balanced development of work, family and leisure. There are 26 professional teachers' clubs such as mountaineering, photography, yoga, bowling, cooking and basketball, all of which were established by colleagues. They hold domestic and overseas tours twice a year (in spring and autumn respectively), and also provide subsidies for self-help tours at home and abroad. In addition to special annual leave, they also have five paid sick days a year, children's education subsidies and scholarships. Give commemorative gold ornaments every tenth wedding anniversary to pay attention to their physical and mental health and a comfortable and safe working environment. Check the quality of air and drinking water regularly. The company has a gym, equipped with fitness equipment, badminton, billiards and other equipment. There is a staff canteen to provide healthy and nutritious lunch for colleagues. The company uniformly insures group accident insurance for colleagues, and provides regular free physical examination for colleagues over 30 years old. Note that it is difficult to classify from the headquarters in Taiwan Province, China to the Yangming branch in Chinese mainland.

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. Moreover, because it is an enterprise of the Taiwan provincial government, its investment in the mainland has been greatly restricted. It was not until the joint-stock reform began in recent years that the 8000TEU supership was 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).

15.K.L

If anyone wants to ask whose closet is the hottest, I'm afraid this is it.

Outside the red box, the big "K" stands out. There is emphasis in the quotation marks, because this "K" stands for three K's, namely "Kawasaki Kisen Co., Ltd.", which translates into "Kawasaki Steamboat Company". So you can also use "KKK" to represent this company.

Although K.L., NYK and MOL are called the three major shipping companies in Japan, they are generally relatively low-key, which does not affect their expansion. K.L. is one of the first foreign shipping companies to enter the China market. 1987, China trade group was established in China. 1In April, 1995, China Co., Ltd. was formally established in Shanghai and began to expand its business in China.

Subsequently, Kawasaki Steamboat successively set up branches in Dalian, Qingdao, Tianjin and Shenzhen, major cities in Chinese mainland, and set up eight offices in Nanjing and Suzhou. At present, it has been approved by the relevant government departments, and the offices in Guangzhou and Xiamen have been upgraded to branches, while the processing capacity of Xiamen has increased at an annual rate of 20%.

The leaders of K.L. especially emphasize the contribution of shipping companies to society, especially the importance of abiding by laws and maintaining market order to ensure reliable services for customers. It is worth mentioning that K.L. is not a company that pays a lot of taxes, but it was awarded the title of A-level tax paying enterprise by Shanghai State Taxation Bureau. K.L. has set up an audit team within the company, whose main task is to supervise the operation department of the company to conduct business according to the laws of China. They are responsible for checking every bill of lading issued by K.L., checking the freight rate, every contract clause and the amount of freight charged, and confirming whether their business is really legal.

16. mol:

MOL has 130 years shipping experience in China. From 1878, the steamboat "Xiuji Maru" transported coal from Sanchi, Kyushu, Japan to China, and MOL began its trip to China. Since 2002, MOL has made a three-year expansion plan, the main purpose of which is to set up more business outlets in Chinese mainland. The establishment of Chengdu office in July this year means that this internationally renowned shipping company has officially entered the freight market in Chinese mainland. It is reported that with the establishment of Chengdu office, MOL has 24 branches and offices in China. In terms of liner business, in the early days of the establishment of MOL China, the main income came from the commission obtained from the container liner business agency for MOL headquarters. At that time, commission income almost constituted 65,438+000% of the income source of MOL China. Nowadays, MOL's non-liner shipping business in China is growing day by day, but the company's revenue from liner shipping still accounts for more than 90% of the total revenue. At present, MOL has operated more than 20 air routes connecting China. In terms of non-liner business, MOL China's business in the transportation of oil tankers, motor boats and bulk carriers has increased, among which MOL has successively signed four long-term iron ore transportation contracts with Baosteel. MOL has set up a special department in China to take charge of automobile transportation business, including not only CKD's container transportation and logistics business (all bulk parts), but also automobile transportation services. "MOL has invested US$ 8 million to establish Sinotrans-Merchant Marine Mitsui Shipping Co., Ltd. with Sinotrans * * as a joint venture, specializing in automobile ro-ro transportation business. Sinotrans Group holds 5 1% equity of the new company, and MOL holds 49%. In addition, MOL will set up another joint venture with another China company and two Japanese-funded enterprises, focusing on the automobile and parts logistics business in China. In terms of logistics, like NLC, the bonded truck transport service was opened in China. The specific operation of this business is completed by its subsidiary-Shanghai Huajia International Freight Forwarding Co., Ltd., which operates 10 bonded trucks in East China and has been audited by the customs. And these vehicles are equipped with GPS equipment. This new truck business will enable MOL Logistics Company to provide independent bonded transportation services, thus making full use of its warehouse in Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone.

17., SNL outbound.

As we all know, Sinotrans is regarded as one of the most important international freight forwarders, and its strength can be seen in the senior sponsors of the Beijing Olympic Games. In fact, the group is not only engaged in the logistics industry, but also operates a considerable fleet in Asia with multiple routes.

As the representative of China Shipping, COSCO has already entered the top ten shipping companies in the world, and CSCL has also entered the top ten by leaps and bounds, while SNL seems to be still wandering outside the ranks of world-renowned shipping companies.

Nevertheless, SNL still claims to be the third largest ocean shipping company in China. Its core routes are mainly distributed in Asia, which passes in and out of China, Japan and South Korea, and there are also trans-Pacific weekly routes between the mainland, South Korea, Hong Kong and the west coast of the United States. Before the end of 2002, SNL cooperated with H.J. to operate the Asia-Europe route, but decided to cancel it because of the poor condition of the route. Ironically, the trade of this route has become very strong since then, and there was a double-digit growth last year.

18, numerical control

Walking in the street, you can often see the logo of CNC. "China Net, Wide World" is also a famous advertising slogan. Once passing by Xiahe Road, I deliberately pointed to the square billboard downstairs in the bank center and showed it to the shipowner. The shipowner shook his head-this CNC is not that CNC.

Closer to home, Li Zheng Airlines was founded in 197 1. Its headquarters was originally located in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan Province Province. Operating the regular route from Kaohsiung to Hong Kong with the only "Guoli" ship, and setting up an office in Taipei to promote domestic crew employment on behalf of foreign airlines, providing crew employment services for more than 40 foreign airlines, employing more than 40 ships/KLOC-0, with nearly 5,000 crew members.

19.RCL

Like CNC, RCL is an expert abroad.

Earlier, it started with a small boat running the feeder line, that is, transferring goods from Thailand to Singapore and loading them on the mother ship. After two or three years of opening, it began to take trunk lines, mainly in Southeast Asia such as Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. During the period of 1994, the first trunk line of RCL entered China, running the first line of Shanghai-Hong Kong-Bangkok-Hong Kong-Shanghai. So far, seven destinations including Qingdao, Tianjin, Shanghai, Ningbo, Xiamen, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have been formed in China. At present, the operation mode is to take the trunk line in the north, including Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai and Ningbo; Take the southern branch lines, including Xiamen, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and transport the goods to Hong Kong (as if Xiamen also takes the trunk line).

As the largest shipping container liner company in Thailand, RCL has positioned its advantage in offshore routes. RCL has established cooperative relations with many large shipping companies such as SNL, CMHK and COSC. RCL and COSC have cooperated for more than 20 years and transshipped COSC in Singapore. Because RCL ships are relatively small, ranging from 600TEU to 2500TEU, transshipment is more flexible and convenient. It is impossible for those big ships to sail in and out of short-distance ports for a few containers, so the cost will be high and some small and medium-sized ports will not be able to sail in. Therefore, RCL's competitive strategy is to cooperate, make up for its own shortcomings and achieve a win-win effect.

20.ZIM (delivered by star)

ZIM 1945 holds. I don't quite understand why it is developing so fast, because I personally think their service is not good, especially the shipping schedule is very unstable. At the beginning of shipment, the second ticket was planted in ZIM's hand, which led me to accompany more than 300 dollars. Let's not talk about it. This hurts my feelings.

At present, ZIM operates more than 80 ships, most of which are container ships, of which 20 are self-owned, including the 4900TEU Panama-class container ship built by Hyundai Heavy Industry in early 2004. . There are five 335 1TEU, eight 3834TEU and five 4992TEU on the container ship.

ZIM's earliest ship was the Kadema, which belonged to the British Navy and participated in the Second World War. It hung a seven-star flag and later became a symbol of the stars.

An important step for ZIM to develop containers is 1970. Moshe Kashti, the leader at that time, made a major decision, adjusted the development direction of the company, and developed containers more suitable for modern transportation. He ordered six container ships from Italy and Germany and started professional container transportation. After the death of Moses Kashti, his successor, yehuda Rotem, vigorously developed container transportation, opening up three important routes: the Far East route, the American route and the European route. At this point, ZIM's global traffic has been formed.

21.whl Wan Hai

WHL was established in Taiwan Province Province on February 24th, 1965, and its initial business was mainly engaged in log transportation between Taiwan Province Province, Japan and Southeast Asia. 1976 after Taiwan Province's economy changed from agriculture to industrialization, its exports increased greatly, and the economy in the Asia-Pacific region began to flourish. International shipping has turned to large-scale and containerization, so WHL changed the original log ship into a full container ship and began to transport containers from Taiwan Province Province to Japan.

22. SITC (Haifeng Container Transportation)

Walk past Japanese goods [URL = JavaScript:; ] Friends [/url] are generally no strangers to Haifeng!

Haifeng started as a freight forwarder. Today, Haifeng's freight forwarding business has been developing very well. Haifeng has developed rapidly in recent years and is really a model among China Shipping Company.

Haifeng was founded in 199 1, then called Shandong International Freight Forwarding Company, and SITC is the abbreviation of its English name. 1992, Haifeng and Dongli Industrial Co., Ltd. established Shandong International Container Storage and Transportation Co., Ltd. 1993, Haifeng bought a ship and started container transportation. At that time, it was catching up with the increase of Shandong's exports to Japan and South Korea, and soon cooperated with Hanjin to open Korean routes. The business volume expanded rapidly and made great strides in the next few years, especially in Japan!
