| 摘要： | THE CONSOLIDATION OF THE MAJOR LOGISTICS services continues. A.P. Moeller-Maersk, the largest ocean carrier group, recently announced the acquisition of U.S.-based Pilot and gave notice of more purchases of transport and warehousing assets to come soon. A.P. Moeller-Maersk management spoke publicly about the fact that their major customers spend many times their ocean freight bill on domestic transportation. Thus, they're going to spend a good portion of their billions in profits from the recent debacle in ocean service- shortage plus higher prices result in big profits in any market-on domestic third-party logistics (3PL) services so they can be a "full-service 3PL." I would call that a "mega 3PL." Maersk is not alone. Amazon, Walmart, and project44 in the United States, as well as many overseas firms, are gobbling up logistics providers and vertically integrating as quickly as possible. These firms are not acting defensively. In fact, they're proactively consolidating a myriad of services under a single brand. |
