DSV CEO Jens Lund, speaking during the company’s first-quarter earnings call Wednesday, said the integration of Schenker has been completed in more than 50 countries, with full integration still on tap by the end of this year.

Highlighting the carrier's Asia focus and volume growth potential, PIL said it will take delivery of at least two 13,064-TEU container ships this year that could be deployed on long-haul Asia-South America and Asia-Middle East services.

The ruling ends a six-year saga during which the Federal Maritime Commission had to decide whether it was a prerequisite that a port be open in order for detention or demurrage fees to be levied.

The move comes at a delicate moment — months before dockworker negotiations are set to begin on Canada’s West Coast in November ahead of the expiration of the current contract next March.

The chairman of the US maritime regulator said the agency could act against ocean carriers or foreign-flag ships should the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee take further steps to adopt its plan to reduce emissions from shipping.

Some ships have been forced to bunker at alternative ports, but the war-driven energy shock hasn’t yet impacted the deployment of tonnage, ocean carriers said at an industry event in Georgia.

The Port of Quebec received clearance from Canada’s customs authority to handle and inspect international containers, part of the country’s long-term pivot away from trade with the US.

The current pipeline of newbuilding programs for ultra-large container vessels vastly outstrips the construction of new berths intended to receive them, meaning we are literally building a fleet for which there may soon be no room at the inn, writes Robbert van Trooijen.

While there have been some schedule changes for multipurpose vessels, reliability is still sufficient only because the shock hasn't gotten through the system yet — and conditions will likely worsen from there, conference attendees were told.

The conflict could also spur increased spending on ports and landside infrastructure in the Middle East as investors seek to develop alternative transport solutions to avoid areas that have been closed or heavily impacted by the hostilities, executives said Thursday on a pair of webinars.

Ocean carriers are unable to evacuate the containers quickly due to operational restrictions and/or landside constraints at alternative ports of discharge in the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
