Steamship lines should start looking over their shoulders at parcel carriers, according to IBM Business Consulting Services. In its report, "Setting a New Course in the Container Shipping Industry," IBM's researchers say that the greatest long-term threat for container shipping companies comes from package delivery providers like UPS, TNT, and DHL.
IBM says it expects that a decade from now, such companies--some working in concert with ocean carriers--will begin targeting container shipping lines' customers.
