'''APM Terminals''' is an international [[container terminal]] operating company headquartered in [[The Hague]], Netherlands. It is one of the world's largest port and terminal operators as well as providing cargo support and container Inland Services, and is the largest port and terminal operating company in terms of overall geographic scope.<ref>name="ReferenceA">"Annual Review of Global Container Terminal Operators 2014", Drewry Shipping Consultants Ltd.</ref> It operates a Global Terminal Network with interests in 72 operating port and terminal facilities in 38 countries on five continents, with seven new port projects in development, as well as 140 Inland Services operations providing container transportation, management, maintenance and repair in 39 countries, for an overall global presence of 69 countries.<ref>name="ReferenceA"</ref>
CEO Kim Fejfer was appointed to the Executive Board of the [[A.P. Moller-Maersk Group]], the parent company of APM Terminals, in January 2011.


'''APM Terminals''' is a [[Port operator|port operating]] company headquartered in [[The Hague]], Netherlands. A unit of [[Denmark|Danish]] [[Freight transport|shipping company]] [[Maersk]]'s Transport and Logistics division. It manages [[container terminals]] and provides integrated cargo and inland services, operating 74 port and terminal facilities in 38 countries on five continents. They currently have five new port projects in development, including over 100 inland services. The services include providing container transportation, management, maintenance, and repair in 38 countries. In 2018, APM Terminals was ranked the world's fifth-largest container terminal operator.<ref name="ReferenceA">"Annual Review of Global Container Terminal Operators 2018", Drewry Shipping Consultants Ltd.</ref>
APM Terminals generated profit of USD $654 million in 2015, with a Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) of 10.9%, which reflected in part lower volumes of containerized traffic in such markets as West Africa, Russia and Brazil. The number of containers handled by APM Terminals (weighted by APM Terminals’ ownership interest) decreased by 6.0% compared with 2014, to 36 million TEUs. The decrease was mainly due to the divestment of operations in Charleston, South Carolina; Jacksonville, Florida; and Houston, Texas, in the USA, and the company’s one third share of the MedCenter Container Terminal, in Gioia Tauro, Italy; (in 2014 APM terminals also trimmed holdings in Portsmouth, Virginia, USA and Le Havre, France). Excluding these divestments, like-for-like volumes decreased by 1.1% for the year, while overall global container throughput grew by 1.3%. The continuing expansion of the APM Terminals Global Terminal Network, however, was accelerated through the several significant acquisitions and new projects won.

APM Terminals agreed to acquire 100% of the shares in Grup Marítim TCB (TCB), the leading Spanish container terminal operator, with terminals located in Spain, Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala and Turkey. When the transaction is fully completed, APM Terminals Global Terminal Network will expand to 77 terminals in 38 countries across five continents and with additional eight terminals in development. The 11 acquired TCB terminals (including a facility in Guatemala scheduled to open in early 2016) will add an additional 4.3 million TEUs of capacity and 3.5 million TEUs in estimated annual container volumes (2.6 million TEUs of additional throughput when weighted Equity share). The acquisition has an implied enterprise value of USD $1.1 billion with additional capital investments of USD $400 million over the next five years.

APM Terminals also concluded an agreement in 2015 to invest approximately USD $800 million in a new container terminal associated roadway infrastructure adjacent to our existing facility in Tema, Ghana, representing 3.5 million TEUs in new annual throughput capacity for the creation of a new deep-water hub in West Africa. Other investments finalized in 2015 were a 20% share of a bulk grain terminal in Qingdao, China; a 51% majority share in a multi-purpose terminal in Cartagena, Colombia and a refrigerated cargo terminal in Vado, Italy, along with ongoing expansion and upgrades of existing facilities across the portfolio.

Newly completed projects expected to begin operations in 2016 include the 1.5 million TEU annual capacity deep-water APM Terminals Izmir, in Turkey on the Aegean Sea, and Phase I of the semi-automated Lázaro Cárdenas Terminal 2 (TEC2) deep-water facility on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, with an initial annual throughput capacity of 1.2 million TEUs. In April 2015 the world’s first fully automated container terminal, APM Terminals Rotterdam Maasvlakte II was officially opened. The new terminal was named “Innovation of the Year” by Containerisation International, and APM Terminals was named “Port Operator of the Year” at the 2015 Lloyd’s List Global Awards ceremony.

Many of the innovative systems and technologies applied at APM Terminals Rotterdam Maasvlakte II will also be utilized at APM Terminals Lázaro Cárdenas. The terminal, currently under construction in Mexico’s second-busiest container port, is expected to open late 2016. The TEC2 facility will be the first automated container terminal in Latin America and will feature fully automated electric yard stacking cranes, and shuttle carriers will be used for transport between the yard cranes and the ship to shore (STS) cranes.

'''Financial Performance'''

APM Terminals earned a profit of USD $654 million (USD $900 million) and an ROIC of 10.9% (14.7%) with an underlying profit of USD $626 million (USD $849 million) in 2015. Lower global oil prices resulted in a sharp decline in import volumes into oil producing countries in West Africa, Russia and Brazil. Along with divestments in 2014, this caused revenue to decrease by 4.8% and the EBITDA-margin to decrease by 2.7% compared with 2014 (22.7%). Operating business generated a profit of USD $696 million, while projects under implementation represented a deficit of USD $42 million stemming from their upstart costs.

Results in 2014 were was positively impacted by net divestment gains after tax of USD $232 million, and negatively affected by impairments of USD $181 million related to European activities of which USD $154 million was related to joint venture companies. The result for
2015 does not include any impairment, but includes net divestment gains of USD $10 million and positive impact from reversed impairments of USD $14 million.

Global market conditions have had an unfavourable effect upon container volumes and rates in several key terminals. Specifically, major operations in oil-dependent markets have declined
significantly compared with 2014 container volumes. Partly mitigating this, performance in APM Terminals’ North American businesses has increased compared to 2014, mainly due to increased volume and storage income; (in 2015, APM Terminals was also named Lloyd’s List North American Maritime Awards’ “Port Operator of the Year”).

APM Terminals’ revenue improvement and cost-saving initiatives continue to be aggressively pursued across the global portfolio, and have delivered approximately USD $200 million to the bottom line, though adverse market conditions were only partly mitigated. The acquisition of the Grup Maritim TCB portfolio will initially produce a negative impact on ROIC of just over one percentage point due to the increased asset base, and the amortisation of terminal rights.

The Grup Maritim TCB acquisition has an implied enterprise value of USD $1.1 billion, with
additional capital expenditure investments of USD $400 million over the next five years. Subject to regulatory approvals the transaction is expected to be completed in Q1 2016.

The share of profit in joint ventures and associated companies increased to USD $199 million (USD $79 million), mainly caused by the USD $154 million impairments in Joint Venture companies in 2014. The effective tax rate (excluding profits from JV’s and associates) increased to 26% (23%) as certain tax incentives have expired since last year. Cash flow from operating activities was USD $874 million (USD 925m), and cash flow used for capital expenditure was USD $774 million (positive USD $2 million).

APM Terminals has completed the $1 billion acquisition of Spanish-based Grup Maritim TCB’s port and rail interests. The acquisition will add 8 terminals with a combined 2 million TEU equity-weighted volumes to the APM Terminals Global Terminal Network. The acquisition complements APM Terminals current portfolio, adding 7% throughput capacity in key locations including major Spanish container terminal concessions in Barcelona and Valencia, as well as Castellon, on the Mediterranean coast, and Gijon, on the Bay of Biscay. Outside of Spain, the new terminal operations include Yucatán, Mexico; Quetzal, Guatemala (under construction, opening 2016); Buenaventura, Colombia, on the Pacific Coast; and Paranagua, Brazil. APM Terminals will invest an estimated $400 million over the next five years in upgrades and expansion to these operations. APM Terminals is awaiting the final approvals for the acquisition of Grup Maritim TCB facility in Izmir, Turkey. Because of the corporate structure of Grup Maritim TCB, the Izmir terminal and two terminals in the Canary Islands were not included the initial transaction completed on March 9. The remaining assets constitute less than 5% of the value of the acquisition.<ref>http://www.apmterminals.com/en/about-us/financials</ref>

APM Terminals is a port operating company headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands. A unit of Danish shipping company Maersk's Transport and Logistics division. It manages container terminals and provides integrated cargo and inland services, operating 74 port and terminal facilities in 38 countries on five continents. They currently have five new port projects in development, including over 100 inland services. The services include providing container transportation, management, maintenance, and repair in 38 countries. In 2018, APM Terminals was ranked the world's fifth-largest container terminal operator.[1]

History

[edit]

The company's history in terminal operations began a half-century ago with the first Maersk facility, which opened in Brooklyn, in the Port of New York in 1958 to handle general cargoes. In 1975, the group established the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's first dedicated container terminal, at Berth 51 at Port Elizabeth, New Jersey.

APM Terminals was founded as the port and terminal operating unit of Copenhagen, Denmark-based A.P. Moller - Maersk Group in January 2001. In 2004, APM Terminals moved its headquarters from Copenhagen to The Hague, Netherlands.

The company provides services to more than 60 shipping lines with an integrated global port and container terminal network with interests in 60 facilities and three in development, in 30 countries on five continents.[2] In 2023, APM Terminals generated USD 3.8 billion in revenue. The company’s 22,000 employees serviced more than 27,000 vessel calls and moved 21.7 million containers at both its hub and gateway terminals. As of April 2024, it operated 60 ports and terminals, located in 30 countries.

Terminal Expansions

[edit]

The following terminals recently completed capacity expansions or are currently under development to increase capacity and efficiency:

APM Terminals Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico: Phase II expansion started in 2023. This will increase capacity by one million TEUs.

APM Terminals Tangier MedPort, Morocco: One million TEU expansion delivered in 2023, together with electric equipment, shore power, and auto mooring.

Port of Salalah, Oman: One million TEU expansion underway, with completion expected in 2025.

APM Terminals Maasvlakte II, Rotterdam, the Netherlands: Doubling of annual capacity currently underway with completion expected in 2027.

Poti Sea Port, Georgia: Expansion will commence in 2024. The first stage includes a breakwater of 1,700m and a 400m multipurpose quay with 13.5 m depth able to handle dry bulk cargo and an incremental 150,000 TEUs. The second stage will double the annual container capacity at Poti Sea Port to over 1 million TEU.

Terminal Divestments

[edit]

In 2022, APM Terminals divested its 30% share in the EUROGATE Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven, Germany, and Sogester container terminals in Luanda and Namibe, Angola. In 2023/2024, APM Terminals divested its operations in Castellón, Spain; Nouakchott and Nouadhibou, Mauritania; Cotonou, Benin; and Conakry, Guinea. The concession agreement for APM Terminals Itajai, Brazil was not renewed in 2023.

Decarbonization

[edit]

In 2022, APM Terminals made an industry-leading commitment to be fully net-zero by 2040, and to reduce its scope 1 and 2 emissions by 65% by 2030 compared to 2022.[3] Scope 1 are emissions generated while carrying out business activities, whereas scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased energy.

Between 2022 and 2023, APM Terminals reduced its absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions by 13%. Additionally, 40% of electricity demand (as of 2023) was procured from renewable resources.

In 2023, APM Terminals and DP World[4] published a joint white paper[5] emphasizing the importance of electrified container handling equipment to speed up the decarbonization of the industry.

In 2023, to speed up the adoption and understanding of battery electric container handling equipment, APM Terminals commenced a US$60 million electrification pilot programme at the Aqaba Container Terminal, APM Terminals Barcelona, APM Terminals Mobile, Pier 400 Los Angeles and Suez Canal Container Terminal.

APM Terminals also established the Zero Emission Port Alliance[6] during COP28 – an industry-wide strategic coalition with the goal of accelerating container handling equipment electrification.

Business Operations

[edit]
  • Three new terminals commenced operation in 2017: APM Terminals Lázaro Cárdenas (Mexico); APM Terminals Izmir, Turkey; and APM Terminals Quetzal, Guatemala.
  • In March 2016 APM Terminals completed the $1 billion acquisition of Spanish-based Grup Maritim TCB's port and rail interests. The acquisition added 8 terminals with a combined 2 million TEU equity-weighted volumes to the APM Terminals Global Terminal Network.
  • Meridian Port Services, a joint venture between APM Terminals, Bolloré Africa Logistics, and the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, have formalized an agreement to invest $1.5 billion in a new deep-water 3.5 million TEU port and logistics hub in Tema, Ghana.
  • Sogester Namibe, an APM Terminals joint venture, signed a 20-year concession to operate, maintain and develop the Port of Moçâmedes in southern Angola, in May 2014. Sogester Container Terminal has been operating at Port of Luanda, the primary port of Angola, since 2007.
  • Global Ports, Russia's largest terminal operating company, in which APM Terminals holds a co-controlling share, completed the acquisition of NCC, Russia's second-largest terminal operating company in December 2013.
  • In February 2013 APM Terminals and Turkish-based Petkim announced the finalization of plans to develop APM Terminals Izmir near the Port of Izmir, Turkey. The 15.5 meter deep facility opened in 2016 under a 28-year concession, with an initial annual throughput capacity of 1.5 million TEUs.

Current New Terminal Development

[edit]

In 2023, the company won a concession for building and operating a container terminal in the Port of Suape, Brazil.[7] Other projects:

Sustainability

[edit]

APM Terminals’ sustainability initiatives and performance are divided into four core areas: Health, Safety, and Security; Environment; Responsible Business; and Social Responsibility. Significant gains or new major initiatives have been achieved or implemented in each performance category.[according to whom?]

There were 141 Lost-Time Injuries (LTI) recorded in the APM Terminals operating portfolio in 2017[according to whom?]. This was the lowest number of LTI ever achieved by APM Terminals. The LTI frequency rate (LTIF) for the year was 1.62 per million man-hours worked, slightly higher than the 1.52 recorded in 2016. There were also three fatalities at APM Terminals facilities during the year. A new incident reporting tool was launched across all APM Terminals locations globally in the fourth quarter of 2017. The new tool greatly improves our ability to analyze our data and gain more insight into eliminating risk by utilizing data-driven decisions on where to focus attention going forward.[citation needed]

In 2018, we continue to work to improve our environmental performance specifically and to develop global environmental standards and guidelines. In the area of greenhouse gases and other emissions, APM Terminals has set a goal of a 25% reduction in CO
2 output, as measured from the base year of 2010. APM Terminals signed a two-year, €5 million ($6.23 million) contract with Amsterdam-based NV Nuon Energy for the supply of environmentally sustainable wind-generated electricity to power the new APM Terminals Maasvlakte II cranes and container handling equipment. The new deep-water terminal, which was officially inaugurated in April 2015, is the world's first container terminal to generate zero greenhouse gases and particulate emissions as compared with diesel-powered terminal machinery. The contract term began on January 1, 2015.[citation needed]

APM Terminals has embarked on a program to convert and retrofit more than 400 Rubber-Tire Gantry Cranes (RTGs) in use throughout the APM Terminals global port, terminal, and inland services network to a combination electric and diesel power as a measure to reduce both costs and emission of carbon dioxide (CO

2 emissions decreasing by 20% per TEU handled. The retro-fitting of the majority of the existing 400-unit APM Terminals RTG fleet will eliminate 70,000 tons of CO
2 emissions annually.[8]
