Drewry has recently released its report on the top terminal operators of 2013 by market share, measured on a TEU basis.

Competition has been driven by an acceleration in traffic and strong profitability performances, thus encouraging new players to enter the terminal operator sector.

According to Drewry Shipping Consultants, global container port throughput will exceed 840 million TEU by 2018, with the fastest growing regions projected to be Greater China and Africa.

Neil Davidson, Senior Analyst at Drewry’s Ports & Terminals practice, said: “The sector’s strong financial performance and accelerating growth is encouraging new market entrants and renewed M&A activity in the container ports sector. Financial investors are particularly active at present, attracted by typical EBITDA margins of between 20% and 45%.”
