Detailing the ongoing success story of this specialist shipping market, the report focuses on vehicle manufacturing, world seaborne trade, the car carrier fleet, car carrier operators, the autologistics map and the role of ports and terminals in the automobile supply chain. Vehicle manufacturing Car Carriers: The Fast Lane of International Shipping reviews the worldwide market for the production of vehicles and its potential for further production capacity in Asia, the sub-Continent, the Middle East, South America and Eastern Europe. By 2010, global sales of new private and commercial vehicles are expected to total 73 million units. The report also assesses the move to, and impact of, globalisation in the automotive sector, the decline of profit margins and the consolidation in the ranks of global carmakers. World seaborne trade With 20-25 per cent of the 64 million vehicles manufactured annually presently exported by ship, the car carrier sector is a crucial element in the global auto supply chain. Car Carriers: The Fast Lane of International Shipping report predicts an increase in cross trade operations and a significant change to cargo origin with the emergence of China as a major supplier. Car carrier fleet Car Carriers: The Fast Lane of International Shipping details how the expected production and sales of vehicles will translate into orders for new car carriers. The report examines current figures for car carriers, predicting the capacity per ship to continue to increase from the current average of 4,073 ceu. Car carrier operators The report outlines the six major players in the deep-sea market and their regional service provision, part of the general trend towards the "one stop shop" or "total service logistics package" which each operator must offer to retain business. Car Carriers: The Fast Lane of International Shipping comments on possible mergers between the major players and upcoming operators that could be set to break into this difficult (high commercial and financial barriers to entry) but lucrative market. The autologistics map Car Carriers: The Fast Lane of International Shipping explains the overwhelming importance of logistics and supply chain management to the auto industry. It also looks at the increasing pressure on vehicle manufacturers to shorten lead-times, cut time-windows for deliveries and lower stock levels, which is creating the need for fast and reliable transport services in every link of the chain. The report examines the various approaches for carriers to meet these higher demands from manufacturers, while remaining profitable. Ports and terminals Car carriers can leverage volume discounts from port authorities and terminal operating companies by concentrating on certain ports.
