Top 50 Global Transportation Providers
Continued slow growth in the global economy suppressed revenue at the world’s top 50 transportation service providers, according to an annual analysis conducted for JOC.com by SJ Consulting Group. Hit by weak freight rates, many ocean carriers produced negative revenue numbers although parcel carriers were a bright spot. The trucking and rail sectors also suffered in 2016.
The latest analysis found the top 50 providers of transportation services generated aggregate revenue of $669.9 billion in 2016.
This year’s list is the sixth annual ranking of the Top 50 Global Transportation Service Providers by SJ Consulting and The Journal of Commerce. The list ranks companies from five continents by revenue.
