What are the largest trading and shipping companies in the world?

World 20 Shipping Company: 1. Mearsk (Maersk): This company originated in Viking and later embarked on the right path of shipping. Headquartered in Copenhagen, six floors, there is an elevator, but few people take the elevator. 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 payment accounts for 40% of the Danish government's income, and it is a giant cow in Denmark. Its expatriates are famous for their low quality. For example, Su Enshen, the general manager of China, used to be a Danish boot card driver. It is said that the education column in his resume has been empty. However, Mearsk has high requirements for new employees, which are divided into employees and trainees. The former is an ordinary employee, and the latter will go to the Danish headquarters for several months of intensive training (it is cruel, the teaching materials are as thick as words, there are three books), and then they will be sent to work all over the world. Finally, regardless of gender, they will be trained on the ship for half a year, and then entrusted with a heavy responsibility. 2.MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company): a 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, pointed out a certain proportion of cash from it, and then gave the rest to the shipyard, saying that I took my commission. This is the deposit, so 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: Zhang Rongfa has worked hard for 40 years and its management is very chaotic. 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. 0 }0 I4 B' A) d！ Y7 Q 4。 Besides, COSCO: 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 near-ocean routes were incorporated into the banner of Pan-Asia. Cosco's main monograph is to do a good job in global ocean 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； O is the famous Peninsula and the East. Anyone who has studied maritime law knows the Himalayan clause (which is 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! 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. 6 m8 x* M" l' r$ c j 1 D0 X，N " Z)l0 M ' v3 U & amp； P S2 p 7, Canada Pacific (some people will mistakenly think it is Taiping Shipping): 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 Steamship and Lake. 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.OOCL (OOCL): OOCL has never used this name before. Its original name was Jinshan Shipping Company, and its founder was Dong Haoyun. Maybe everyone doesn't know, but everyone in Tung Chee-hwa knows. 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. 1969, the container transportation industry rose, and Jinshan steamship 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. 10, Hanjin (Hanjin): Korea established diplomatic relations with us only in the early 1990s, so Hanjin set up representative offices in China, such as Shanghai, Tianjin, Dalian, Qingdao and Beijing, and vigorously carried out business activities in China in 1993. However, Hanjin is still one of the few foreign shipping companies that first entered the shipping market in China. Today, Hanjin has successfully acquired 80% equity of German Victory 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 great strength and energy to compete with other ships for the US route. In fact, Hanjin Shipping is only one 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.
