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. It operates 74 port and terminal facilities in 38 countries on five continents, with five new port projects in development, in addition to over 100 inland services operations providing container transportation, management, maintenance and repair in 38 countries, for an overall global presence of 58 countries.[1] In 2018, APM Terminals was ranked the world's fifth largest container terminal operator.[2]

Overview

APM Terminals reported revenue of US$4.1 billion for 2017 on a consolidated basis, on par with 2016, but with underlying volume growth on an equity-weighted basis of 6.5%. Portfolio container volume amounted to 39.7 million TEUs (37.3 million TEUs) on an equity-weighted basis, 6.5% higher than in 2016, following strong volumes in north Asia, Latin America and across several locations due to strong growth from Maersk Line. APM Terminals’ equity-weighted volume growth was slightly higher than the estimated global port throughput growth in 2017 of 6%. Adjusted for newly commenced entities and divested terminals, volume increased by 5%. Invested capital increased to US$8.1 billion ($8 billion) mainly due to capital investment in projects under implementation, partially offset by impairment and capital discipline.

Terminals

Three new terminals commenced operation in 2017 ("Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico", "Izmir, Turkey" and "Quetzal, Guatemala"), while APM Terminals divested one inland service, Pentalver, UK, as well as two terminals, Zeebrugge, Belgium, and Dalian, China. Moreover, APM Terminals Tacoma, USA, ended operations in September. APM Terminals Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico, Latin America's largest semi-automated terminal, commenced operations in April. The terminal has the capacity to receive the world's largest ships. With the first phase of the terminal complete, APM Terminals Lázaro Cárdenas occupies an area of Шаблон:Convert, with a Шаблон:Convert-long quay and an annual capacity of 1.2m TEU. As part of APM Terminals’ strategy implementation and portfolio optimisation, APM Terminals completed in 2017 the divestment of its 100% stake in Pentalver, the UK-based provider of container transport and other container-related services, its 51% stake in Zeebrugge, Belgium, with 1.3m TEU annual capacity and its 20% stake in Dalian, China, with 2.3m TEU annual capacity. APM Terminals Tacoma, USA, ended operations at the end of September as part of its portfolio optimisation plans, and transferred its concession to SSA Marine. APM Terminals’ portfolio of inland services has been growing its presence with six new locations, including the opening of a container depot in Sullana, Peru. Sullana is one of the largest areas for grapes production as well as for growing organic bananas and mangos.[3]

Financial Performance

Operating business reported a loss of $146 million (profit of $487 million), negatively impacted by impairments in challenging markets, while projects under implementation realised a loss of $23 million (loss of $49 million) stemming from start-up costs. The share of profit/loss in joint ventures and associated companies was a loss of $52 million (profit of $193 million). Excluding the impact of impairments, the result from joint ventures and associated companies was a profit of $212 million, $19 million higher than in 2016. Tax decreased to $53 million ($149 million), mainly due to prior-year adjustments, the rate of exchange impact on deferred tax and a reduced tax rate in the USA following changes in legislation. Cash flow from operating activities was $827 million ($819 million). Cash flow used for capital expenditure was $672 million ($1.5 billion), of which $490 million related to terminal implementation projects. The capital expenditure in 2016 was mainly due to the acquisition of the Spanish Grup Marítim TCB's port and rail interests. APM Terminals generated a positive free cash flow of $155 million (negative $730 million). Invested capital increased to $8.1 billion ($8.0 billion), mainly due to capital investment in projects under implementation, partially offset by impairment and capital discipline.[3]

History

The company's history in terminal operations began a half century ago with the first A.P. Moller 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.Шаблон:Citation needed

APM Terminals was founded as the port and terminal operating unit of Copenhagen, Denmark-based Maersk Group in January 2001. In 2004, APM Terminals moved its headquarters from Copenhagen to The Hague, Netherlands. Today the company provides services to more than 60 shipping lines with an integrated global port, terminal and inland services network with interests in 74 operating port facilities, with five in development, and over 100 cargo support service operations representing a global presence in 58 countries on five continents.Шаблон:Citation needed

Current New Terminal Development

Expansions and Upgrades of Existing Facilities

Sustainability

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.Шаблон:According to whom

There were 141 Lost-Time Injuries (LTI) recorded in the APM Terminals operating portfolio in 2017Шаблон: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, slight 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 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.Шаблон: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 Шаблон:Chem 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.Шаблон: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 (Шаблон:Chem) from the current diesel-powered RTG fleet. RTGs, which are used to move loaded and unloaded containers at the terminals, are usually powered by diesel engines. The new power supply will be a combination of electricity and diesel, utilizing a busbar- a rail providing access to electrical power. Recent technological advances have made such a hybrid power option possible for RTGs. The use of E-RTGs will reduce [[Greenhouse gas emissions|Шаблон:Chem emissions]] by between 60-80% compared with conventional diesel-powered RTGs, which will result in overall terminal Шаблон:Chem 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 Шаблон:Chem emissions annually.[4]
