Facts speak louder than your eloquence.Japanese and Koreans are not "struggling to make ends meet" like you claim. There's nothing like that. They have owned and operated some of the world biggest and most respected shipping companies and they still do.
Moreover, Chinese companies are winning contracts because of their cheaper bids for their tenders. Not because they have a good "track record". LOL.
The only thing chinese are capable of producing is cheap, low cost stuff... due in part to the cheap labour workforce and in part to the inferior quality metal and alloys used.
I know firsthand what pathetic chinese construction is, having worked on Chinese built ships, as well as Russian, Japanese and Korean built ones.
The first start falling apart within 5 to 6 years of use while the latter ones still have lesser problems after even 20 years.
And you're naming COSCO?? I have been to the COSCO shipyard in Zhanjiang. The standards of safety you guys follow is to say the least, abysmal.
Try and make a fool out of someone else, who's not well informed. It wont work here.
On Chinese, there're examples as given - Ashdod Israel, Piraeus Greece, Rotterdam, Darwin Australia, Abu Dhabi UAE...
with evidences of votes of confidence from developed countries convincingly compared to Indians hailing "quality" "cheap labour" and "competitiveness".
As for Japanese and Koreans, brush up pleaseeee -->>>
Hanjin bankruptcy: Are South Korea's 'chaebols' in crisis?
Japan’s K Line, MOL, NYK to merge container shipping businessThe bankruptcy of the Hanjin shipping line has thrown ports and retailers around the world into confusion, with giant container ships marooned and merchants worrying whether hundreds of tonnes of goods being carried by the South Korean company will reach shelves.
They're losing big $$$ in the adverse business climate so they need to hug together for warmth.
Are u from Mars? The world is much different from last time u got updated.The three Japanese firms, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (K Line), Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) and Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK), said the decision to integrate came on the back of low oil prices, sluggish cargo demand, oversupply of trade capacity, and container freight rates at historic lows.
