Ceva reorg accelerates as rumours give way to action
On the move

It is not the first time a shipping line has tried to capture a market that has always been in the hands of airlines. Around six years ago, Maersk tried much the same, but little came of it as the volumes remained small and the technology was in its formative stages. However, this Bloomberg article charts how specialist container shipping is becoming increasingly the norm as carriers look for profitable niche business.
