რათქმაუნდა.

შეიძლება ახალი ჰ.რ.ე ფორმდება, ერთიანი ევროპის შიგნით :givi: 

Xmeeerto ra Katastropaa 

იმჰო. რაღაც ძალიან მნიშვნელოვანი ხდება მთლიანად ევროპის კონტინენტზე სენიორ. ეს ფაქტი და ბენია/არსენას სახლების რეიდები პირდაპირ კავშირში უნდა იყოს. 

როგორც ჩანს ამ ომის მენეჯმენტის მე-2 ეტაპი დაიწყო, რაც ერთის მხრივ გულისხმობს ბებერლენდის გაყოფის ცემენტირებას და მეორეს მხრივ, ამავე ევროპის მისივე აღმ. მეზობლების შიდა პოლიტიკიდან გაბუნძულებას და მესამეს მხრივ, მაოზე ბულინგის აქტიურ ფაზაში გადაყვანას :დ

დიახ სენიორ, მეც ეგრე ვფიქრობ რაც ძაან დიდი იხარშება თვიტონ ეუ-ს შიგნით რაც ჯერ არ ჩანს.

გმადლობთ სენიორ, მაგრამ სოფლის კულინარიასავითაა :დ უგემური.

ბოლომდე ვერ ვხსნი და ფორინ პოლისის ექსპერტების ჰაზრებია როგორც ჩანს. ფორინ პოლისი ცალმხრივია როგორც წესი. დემების ჰოუქიშ ფრთა. ესენი რასაც აკეთებენ ისედაც ცხადია.

საინტერესო სტატიაა, იმჰო ამ კერძო კომპანიის ქმედებები უფრო მეტია, ვიდრე კერძო კომპანიის ქმედებები :gigi:

In an industry that has caused headaches for consumers, drawn renewed scrutiny from regulators, and remains somewhat clouded in mystery, the Saadés are the indisputable winners. And they aren’t content to merely sit on top of their gains. Rodolphe Saadé has dug into the fresh earnings to grow the family business—expanding the firm’s logistics empire, extending its influence, and bolstering its ties with a French government increasingly aware of the strategic benefits of having a major global shipping firm based on domestic shores. At a time of renewed global crises and heightened instability, CMA CGM offers the promise of reliable shipping to France and its sprawling collection of overseas territories—topped off by a certain willingness to make investments that align with French state interests.

When U.S. President Joe Biden rails against “foreign-owned” shipping carriers for hurting U.S. consumers, CMA CGM is precisely the kind of company his administration has in mind. Amid surging demand and sprawling traffic jams at U.S. ports, global freight costs skyrocketed in 2021 and 2022, with average container costs peaking at around eight times their pre-crisis levels. The steep hike in prices translated into hefty profits for the handful of largely European firms that dominate the industry alongside CMA CGM: the Italian Swiss Mediterranean Shipping Co. (MSC), the Danish giant Maersk, and the German firm Hapag-Lloyd, followed by COSCO and Evergreen, which are based in China and Taiwan, respectively. Together, these six firms account for around 70 percent of the international market share.

 

DISPATCH

Can a French Shipping Giant Make Marseille the Capital of the Mediterranean?

The Saadé family has raked in huge profits, turning CMA CGM into a strategic asset for Paris and a potential economic lifeline for France’s impoverished second city.

MARSEILLE, France—The tower dominates the skyline. Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, hulking over the Port of Marseille, and rising above a mass of clay-tiled roofs and blocks of drab housing projects, the sleek glass skyscraper is a beacon of wealth and prestige, standing out from the rest of this working-class city.

The 2023 Pacific Games Wrap Small Countries in Big-Power Struggles

A Solomon Islands-hosted sporting event has become part of a China-West tussle.

 

This is the headquarters of CMA CGM, the world’s third-largest container shipping company—and inside, times have never been so good. Although it’s still little-known outside France, the privately held, family-owned firm now rakes in nearly as much annual revenue as HP, Boeing, or Morgan Stanley. The Marseille-based giant earned a staggering $17.9 billion in profit in 2021, with 2022 on pace to be another record year, even as the wider industry cools down. These once unthinkable gains have padded the pockets of the company’s French Lebanese chairman and CEO, Rodolphe Saadé, transforming his family into the fifth wealthiest in France as it sits atop one of the country’s few corporate giants to be headquartered outside the Paris region.

In an industry that has caused headaches for consumers, drawn renewed scrutiny from regulators, and remains somewhat clouded in mystery, the Saadés are the indisputable winners. And they aren’t content to merely sit on top of their gains. Rodolphe Saadé has dug into the fresh earnings to grow the family business—expanding the firm’s logistics empire, extending its influence, and bolstering its ties with a French government increasingly aware of the strategic benefits of having a major global shipping firm based on domestic shores. At a time of renewed global crises and heightened instability, CMA CGM offers the promise of reliable shipping to France and its sprawling collection of overseas territories—topped off by a certain willingness to make investments that align with French state interests.

The shipping sector may be cyclical, but the power and influence of the Saadés are almost certainly here to stay.

When U.S. President Joe Biden rails against “foreign-owned” shipping carriers for hurting U.S. consumers, CMA CGM is precisely the kind of company his administration has in mind. Amid surging demand and sprawling traffic jams at U.S. ports, global freight costs skyrocketed in 2021 and 2022, with average container costs peaking at around eight times their pre-crisis levels. The steep hike in prices translated into hefty profits for the handful of largely European firms that dominate the industry alongside CMA CGM: the Italian Swiss Mediterranean Shipping Co. (MSC), the Danish giant Maersk, and the German firm Hapag-Lloyd, followed by COSCO and Evergreen, which are based in China and Taiwan, respectively. Together, these six firms account for around 70 percent of the international market share.

None of them are based in the United States: Declining public investment in shipbuilding and the deregulation of the maritime transport market in the 1980s and 1990s made it easier for these foreign companies to dominate routes to and from U.S. shores. (Florida-based Sealand belongs to Maersk, while American President Lines, despite its name and eagle logo, is a subsidiary of CMA CGM.)

 

The recent profit wave “wasn’t expected at all,” said Pierre Cariou, a shipping expert at Kedge Business School in Bordeaux, France. “From 2008 onward, profits were very limited, and whatever their different strategies were, no company was making a lot more than the others. Then, all of a sudden, we moved into a conjuncture in which they all started making spectacular profits.”

As the COVID-19 pandemic threw a wrench into global supply chains, people in the world’s wealthiest countries altered their spending habits—nowhere more so than in the United States, where consumers shelled out for imported goods such as electronics and exercise equipment. The surge in demand and a scarcity in the number of containers available led to bottlenecks at ports and soaring freight costs.

In a market dominated by just a few players, those spectacular profits have also fueled accusations of price gouging—and particularly in the United States, where Congress voted to strengthen the authority of the federal agency regulating maritime shipping. The shippers have denied those allegations.

Yet the firm’s ownership structure also means that CMA CGM has faced less pressure to pay out the sorts of lavish dividends and buybacks craved by shareholders of publicly traded firms. To be sure, CMA CGM’s owners paid themselves a handsome $3 billion in dividends last year, most of that sum going to the Saadés. But as the soft-spoken 52-year-old Rodolphe Saadé has himself stressed in response to questions over windfall profits, the shipping carrier has invested the majority of its earnings back into the company, allowing it to double down on an expansion strategy that it had already started before the pandemic. In addition to beefing up its container shipping business, it’s pivoting more generally into logistics.

The list of recent acquisitions is long. After buying the Swiss giant Ceva Logistics in 2019, CMA CGM acquired the U.S. logistics firm Ingram Micro CLS in late 2021. Around the same time, it bought an entire terminal at the Port of Los Angeles, the busiest port in the United States. Last year, CMA CGM acquired a French parcel delivery service, a separate French shipping company, and a massive stake in Air France-KLM, becoming the company’s fourth-largest shareholder and inking a deal to operate cargo planes. In December 2022, CMA CGM announced an agreement to acquire two container terminals at the Port of New York and New Jersey, the busiest port on the East Coast. According to Bloomberg, the deal could be worth some $3 billion.

India, France and UAE declare areas of cooperation under trilateral framework

Three foreign ministers met on September 19 last year for the first time in a trilateral format on the margins of the UN General Assembly in New York

India, France and the UAE on Saturday unveiled an ambitious roadmap for cooperation in areas of defence, nuclear energy and technology under a trilateral framework.

After a phone conversation among their foreign ministers, a joint statement said the three sides agreed that the trilateral initiative will serve as a forum to promote the design and execution of cooperation projects in the fields of energy, with a focus on solar and nuclear energy.
