NEW HEIGHTS AND DEPTHS
DESPITE DECADES OF GLOBALISATION, THERE ARE STILL PARTS OF THE WORLD THAT TRADE DOESN’T REACH
Our broad set of capabilities includes feedering, shortsea, ferries, railways and port services allows us to go further – getting goods to smaller and more local destinations anywhere in the world.
Because we are multimodal in our operations and global in our reach, we can create more options to move goods by sea, road, rail, and air.
Collectively, we added more than 23,000 nautical miles of new trade routes across the globe in the first three quarters of 2022, equivalent to a complete circumnavigation of the earth.
Our agility and flexibility reduce costs and improve access for consumers and businesses alike. It is also more sustainable – not only minimising the impact by getting goods onto smaller vessels or lower carbon modes but creating more resilient trade that ensures people get access to the goods they want.
Unifeeder Group, which makes up part of the Marine Services pillar, has evolved from being the best-connected feeder and shortsea network in Europe and the Mediterranean to become a global logistics company. By acquiring feeder and regional trade operators it now provides full-scale capability in Northern Africa, the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent and Asia.
For example, Unifeeder was able to expand its market-leading direct service between Maputo, Jebel Ali and Mundra to include a Mombasa Port call. This new port call in Mombasa has reduced the transit times for goods travelling to Nairobi by two to five days because we can combine sea freight with rail freight.
We also created synergies between the marine services businesses to strengthen our performance, bringing valuable solutions to our customers and increasing market penetration in various regions. In May, for example, we created a joint venture between P&O Ferries and Unifeeder Shortsea to create P&O Ferrymasters – a single brand standing for unique intra-European multimodal transportation and logistics service.
