Industry consolidation not the problem?
Wall Street questioned the move by the White House, pointing out that a surge
in demand – not industry consolidation – has caused rates to climb. The
issue, according to an equity note published by investment firm Stifel, “has
little to do with consolidation and everything to do with weak demand
pre-pandemic not incentivizing building new ships. Given its low barriers to
entry, the implications to the shipping market are virtually nonexistent.”
Maffei acknowledged that the current demand for imports is unprecedented. “
That’s the lion’s share of this current crisis,” he said. However, he
pushed back on the argument that a lack of competition is not at least part
of the problem.
“When you have a demand spike and there is full competition – meaning
anyone can come in and satisfy that demand immediately with more capacity –
there is not an issue,” he said.
But that is not the case in the container shipping and rail sectors, Maffei
pointed out.
“Railroads have to lay track, container carriers have to build ships, and
that takes time. So by having a more consolidated industry, you set the stage
for some of the price increases that we’ve seen. They’re not due directly
to a lack of competition, but they’re related to it.”
