今日（10月31日），日本三大航运公司NYK，K'line 和 MOL发布公告，计划合并三家船公司的集装箱运输业务并为此成立合资运营公司！

新组建航运公司运力将高达140万Teu，一举跃升为全球第6大船公司，并将占有全球市场份额的7%

对于今日日本三大船公司的合并之举，众多行业内人士认为， 随着此前也就多次重要合并的发生（CMA合并APL，HPL合并USAC，CSAV，以及COSCO和CSCL和合并），鉴于全球海运供应商的减少和集中，整个海运市场将进入上升通道，对运力和运价的掌控将彻底扭转目前的颓势， 预期这次日系三大船公司的合并将是此次行业业见底的标志和转折点。

联合声明的原文如下：

Dear Valued Customer,We wish to inform you that earlier today Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (hereafter, NYK), Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd. (hereafter, MOL) and Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (hereafter, K-Line) agreed, subject to regulatory approval from the authorities. To establish a completely new joint-venture company to integrate and consolidate the container shipping businesses of all three companies.1. BackgroundAs no doubt aware, the container shipping industry has faced over the last five years unprecedented financial challenges. Global trade growth has slowed and the industry has witnessed a significant over supply of new tonnage. These two factors have contributed to create an adverse supply and demand imbalance environment, which has significantly undermined long term industry financial stability and future investment sustainability. In order to combat these factors, industry participants have sought to gain scale merit consolidation through integration and acquisition activity. Under such similar circumstances, NYK, MOL, and K-Line have now decided to integrate all their container shipping and terminal operating businesses excluding Japan, into one new single entity. The name of the new company will be advised in due course, but it will look to retain the highest of service standards, whilst offering a comprehensive global network, scale, innovation and strong financial credentials.2.

今天（10月31日）早些时候，日本邮船株式会社（以下简称NYK）、商船三井有限公司（以下简称MOL）和川崎汽船株式会社有限公司（以下简称Kline）经政府监管部门批准，建立一家全新的合资公司，整合并巩固三家公司所有的集装箱航运业务。

毫无疑问，集装箱航运业在过去五年中面临着前所未有的挑战。 在全球贸易增长放缓，行业出现了大量超额新吨位， 这两个因素对行业造成不利的供需环境，严重削弱了行业长期的金融稳定性和未来的投资可持续性。

为了克服这些因素，行业参与者通过寻求整合和并购的方式巩固其规模优势地位。 在这种情况下，NYK，MOL和K-Line现决定将除日本之外的所有集装箱航运和码头运营业务整合成一个新的单一实体。 新公司的名称将在适当时候被告知，但它将保持最高的服务标准，同时提供全面的全球网络，规模，创新和强大的财务凭证。

与此同时，公司照常营业，所有三家公司将继续经营和服务他们的客户， 一旦获得监管协议，新公司将开始建立，随着时间的推移，三家现有公司和新公司之间将进行资产和员工的有序转移。 预期的时间表目前设想如下。

新组建公司的股权分配：

NYK 38%

MOL 31%

K'Line 31%

•成立新的合资公司

2017年7月1日（计划）

•开始运营

2018年4月1日（计划）
