Report Highlights
For the rest of 2008, limited credit availability will continue to have a
large negative impact on investors and their ability to carry out financial
deals in the T&L sector. It is likely that deal-making environment in the T&L
industry will be slower for 2008, as the impending recession and uncertain
economic conditions continue to gain momentum.
European rail freight and transport infrastructure has suddenly started to
attract private capital. High oil prices are the primary driver for this
trend, due to the resultant expected increase in rail's modal share of freight
carried.
Globally the sea freight sector is witnessing hectic financial activity.
Companies are using private placement, as well as the M&A route, to achieve
greater shipping capacity in anticipation of sustained freight demand and
freight rates.
