Reduction of emissions up to 20% aprox in the Far East-Europe route Reduction of logistics costs Slows steaming: better transit time through the Mediterranean Reduction of congestion in Northern European infrastructures Take advantage of the Mediterranean and North and West African potential Improved infrastructures to berth the biggest containerships.

5 New transport routes: Threat or opportunity? One Road & One Belt Artic Route Less distance Arctic Route Less distance Suez Route Similar distances Bigger capacity in Panama & Suez Canal The Suez canal will still be the main Europe/ Med - Asia trade route for decades

6 Unstable market in the shipping business Freight & connectivity volatility Fuel price volatility Inland transport involvement Environmental considerations Bigger vessels Overcapacity in terminals and vessels (Asia-Europe trade line). Under construction additional worldwide port capacity for 450 M TEU Concentration (The Alliance, Ocean Alliance & 2M) Shipping lines under stress (Hanjin bankruptancy) Slow steaming Less bunker costs, less carbon footprint, longer shipping times & more ships on service
