International Division – John Hepworth
Review of International
Group for 2006/07 Year
For the international divisions we
finished 2006/07 with another strong
result; revenue up 10.88% from last
year representing 59.2% of the group;
net profit before tax up 21.47% from
last year representing 43.4% of the
group.
Our stats were strong in most areas but
we need a stronger focus on airfreight
development for next year.

Mega Vessels Need Mega Ports
Maersk have recently launched the Emma
Maersk with the capacity to handle 13,000 TEU,
length 397 metres, width 63 metres, deadweight
123,200 tonnes, top speed 50kph.
Nearly 4 rugby fields long
As these vessels get larger to handle the
global capacity of containers so must the ports.
Today, Asian ports represent the top 6 ports in
the world handling 110 million containers per
year.
