End-To-End Services Of Shipping Companies

At present, companies providing end-to-end services mainly fall into two types: one is an asset-light logistics service provider (mainly freight forwarding companies) transformed by traditional freight forwarding companies, and the other is a capacity service provider (mainly shipping companies) gradually shifting to end-to-end business.

The represent two different business models, the main difference lies in whether they directly own or control the port-to-port trunk transportation network and the end-to-end logistics network. Historically, the asset-light business model represented by DSV has been successful, while the asset-heavy business model represented by Maersk is still in the process of development and exploration. The global end-to-end service network established by DSV outsources the mainline transportation from port to port. By selecting different ocean and air freight service providers to obtain the most complete mainline network and the most favorable price, coupled with excellent on-site distribution and warehousing service capabilities, DSV provides customers with a full range of high-quality, cost-effective logistics services.

The end-to-end service is the future development trend of the shipping industry, which is supported by the actual market demand and is not a fantasy for shipping companies. The current boom of the shipping market brings abundant cash flow to shipping companies, and shipping companies will certainly consider the future development transformation direction of enterprises, or will invest more funds for end-to-end business layout, and the cyclicality and volatility of shipping industry is expected to be accelerated by the extension and value-added services. The rapid expansion of end-to-end business is bound to reshape the valuation of shipping companies, and the valuation of head companies will gradually change from the valuation system of shipping stocks to the valuation system of logistics stocks.
