Abstract

Il settore dei trasporti marittimi, fondamentale per il commercio internazionale e la logistica, ha subito una trasformazione notevole grazie alle leasing company, che hanno influenzato non solo il contesto marittimo ma anche la gestione logistica e finanziaria a livello globale. Questa tesi esamina il ruolo e l’impatto delle leasing company nel settore marittimo, esplorando la storia e lo sviluppo dei container, le strategie delle leasing company, la relazione tra lessor e lessee, e l'impatto delle crisi economiche e sanitarie sul mercato. La mia esperienza lavorativa in Cai International ha arricchito questa analisi, consentendomi di collegare teoria e pratica. I capitoli analizzano i diversi tipi di container, il ruolo delle leasing company nel noleggio, la gestione dei depositi, i contratti di leasing e gli effetti delle crisi globali sul mercato marittimo.

In the current global economic context, the maritime transport sector plays a crucial role in international trade and logistics, with the container industry undergoing significant transformation due to leasing companies. These companies not only reshape the maritime landscape but also impact the global logistical and financial management of shipping companies. The thesis aims to examine the role and impact of leasing companies in maritime transport, exploring container history, development, and standardization, leasing company roles and strategies, lessor-lessee relationships, and the influence of economic and health crises. Drawing from my experience at Cai International, a major maritime leasing company, the thesis delves into container types, their evolution, and the integration of leasing companies into the maritime sector. Chapters cover leasing company activities, focusing on container rental, market strategies, and managing relationships with shipping companies. The third chapter explores the often-overlooked but essential role of depots in container leasing, vital for lessee returns and lessor reuse. The fourth chapter analyzes key leasing contracts, addressing decisions on quantities, daily rates, and unit returns, providing detailed insights into operational methods and contractual mechanisms. The final chapter examines the effects of global crises on the maritime market, offering perspective on how external events influence significant changes in leasing company and shipping company operations and strategies.
