碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 運輸科學系 / 106 / Facing to the fierce competition in the market of liner shipping, companies take initiative to join together in THE alliances. In fact, the 14 largest shipping companies make up 79% of the global container market leaving 21% for the other smaller global/regional carriers (Barrios, 2017). Most of the shipping companies posted losses in 2016 and we even saw 1 bankruptcy. The lack of sustainable profit levels leads to accelerated industry consolidation. Industry consolidation is an important trend mergers & acquisitions as well as alliances. By April 2017, the world of shipping alliances will see changes, as reorganizations will affect significantly to global transportation. Therefore, this paper will provide a better understanding about the formation of strategic shipping alliances in the application of Hotelling model. This paper will emphasize on explaining the reason why a shipping company choose its members and give the broader view of how shipping alliance operate in terms of ocean freight and service differentiation. In addition, the paper will take the real case of three biggest alliances namely 2M alliance, Ocean alliance and THE alliance into consideration.
