Consultant Lars Green points out in this article that the recent news of a trade deal between Japan and the EU will be great news for ONE, the Japanese shipping lines alliance. EU exports are expected to increase 34% and Japan should see 29% more exports to the EU. While there has been concern that the merger could result in a loss of Japanese customers for the lines, the trade deal makes the cake rather bigger, argues Mr Green.
