Some very large multinational transport and logistics firms have emerged to
provide integrated transport services to shippers in the globalised economy.
Do these firms escape regulatory oversight from national competition
authorities because of their sheer scale? Do they pose additional threats to
competition when they merge with or acquire other companies in the supply
chain?
The Round Table brought competition experts together with researchers on
maritime shipping, rail freight and logistics to identify critical competition
issues and appropriate regulatory responses. An examination of the strategies
of transport and logistics companies reveals that vertical integration can
yield efficiencies, but usually reflects a need to improve the use of
expensive fixed assets rather than control all parts of the supply chain. This
usually explains why shipping lines acquire terminal operators. Horizontal
acquisitions, where similar companies serving the same market merge, are more
likely to raise competition concerns. Problems are particularly prone to arise
at bottleneck infrastructure facilities.
The Round Table report provides an economic framework for examining
competition in global transport and logistics businesses, discusses the
adequacy of the remedies available to regulators when competition is
threatened, and explores the role of competition authorities and Transport
Ministries in ensuring markets are efficient.
