Access Bulletin Archive

Welcome to the latest edition of Analytiqa's weekly Logistics Bulletin reviewing the calendar period of 02 February - 09 February 2026
This week’s Logistics Bulletin reports on a busy week at FedEx. Together with Advent International, A&R Investments and PPF Group, it has established a Consortium that has reached a conditional agreement to acquire InPost. After multiple rounds of negotiations, the deal values InPost at approximately €7.8 billion. Post-Settlement, the Consortium will be structured with Advent holding 37.0%, FedEx holding 37.0%, A&R holding 16.0% and PPF holding 10.0%.
FedEx and InPost will not integrate their operations and will remain independent competitors. FedEx will be entering into agreements with InPost following completion of the transaction that will provide its customers access to InPost’s last-mile B2C capabilities, while bringing FedEx’s global network and logistics expertise to support InPost’s next phase of growth. The Consortium is committed to supporting InPost’s existing strategy, including further expansion of its European footprint in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Benelux and the UK.
The deal comes as FedEx has announced its four strategic priorities to continue its transformation and achieve its financial goals. FedEx is prioritising premium growth in high-margin verticals, scaling its digital and AI capabilities, and further transforming its network to drive significant profit improvement and stockholder value creation. Key target industries include healthcare, automotive, aerospace, data centres, and the premium end of eCommerce. Leveraging the two petabytes of data processed daily and its unparallelled physical network, it aims to scale its digital backbone, AI, and automation to enhance customer value, improve network planning, and unlock new revenue streams.

AD Ports Group announced its preliminary unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending 31 December 2025. The Group delivered record revenue and net profit for the full year 2025 and also turned Free Cash Flow (FCF) positive for the year, a first since its 2022 public listing.
Operationally, the strong growth was driven by container terminals throughput, both domestically and internationally, the addition of 3.3 km2 of net new industrial land leases in Khalifa Economic Zones - Abu Dhabi (KEZAD) with resulting continued strong demand for warehouses, staff accommodation, and gas provision; strong activity across all maritime businesses - Shipping, Offshore & Subsea, Marine Services, and Drydocking & Shipbuilding - and the launch of the Ro-Ro shipping JV, UGR.
In 2025, AD Ports Group continued executing its disciplined internationalisation strategy launched in 2022, consolidating presence in its existing markets as a corridor-focused global trade enabler. The focus remained on the Middle East, Central Asia, Pakistan, Egypt, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Mediterranean region, where the Group continued to build operational scale and long-term partnerships. Emphasis was placed on operational stabilisation, developing customer relationships, efficiency gains, service quality, and improving the performance of recently acquired or developed assets.
Against a challenging and complex global geopolitical and macro backdrop, AD Ports Group’s diversified business model, focused strategy, and operational flexibility have proven to be effective, turning risks into differentiated opportunities. Operational progress continued to interconnect the Group’s 34 port terminals in 2025 with associated maritime and logistics services, increasing synergies and enhancing asset utilisation.
The results of that strategy are clear and visible - AD Ports Group increased its customer base by almost 20.0% in 2025 whilst spending by its top 10 customers increased by 40.0%, a testament to its synergistic vertically integrated model, and its widening service offering, and geographic expansion, which are all bearing fruit.
The UAE macroeconomic context, and more specifically the signing and implementation of an increasing number of Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPAs), has also been supportive. Since 2022, 29 CEPAs have been signed with 14 implemented by the end of 2025. According to the Central Bank of the UAE, the country recorded GDP growth of approximately 5.0% in 2025, driven by non-oil expansion in trade, logistics, manufacturing and services. Additionally, UAE non-oil foreign trade exceeded US$1.0 trillion (AED3.8 trillion) in 2025, a 26.0% increase over 2024, achieving targets five years ahead of schedule and demonstrating the accelerating momentum of the country’s economic diversification strategy. This supportive macro environment in the UAE is largely expected to continue in 2026.
In container shipping, despite a challenging, complex, and volatile environment in 2025, AD Ports Group’s container feeder shipping business showed strong resilience with 38.0% volume growth and a mere 7.0% softening in rates on average. Overall, shipping freight rates remain elevated by historical standards, whilst charter rates have strengthened further amidst tight vessel availability. Despite difficult market conditions in 2025, asset-owner AD Ports Group managed to deliver strong results in its container feeder shipping business by proactively managing its service network, leveraging strong demand for services in its key regions of focus – GCC-India, Intra-Asia, Asia-Europe, Asia- Middle East and Asia-Africa, and expanding its relationship with global shippers and complementing their global network with feeder services in the Red Sea and West Africa.
Trade flows continue to be shaped by geopolitical tensions, heightened trade policy uncertainty, and persistent disruption in the Red Sea and through the Suez Canal. Red Sea rerouting remained a defining feature in 2025 and whilst some volumes through the Suez Canal resumed sporadically since the end of last year, the majority of mainliner operators have continued to divert around the Cape of Good Hope. Looking ahead, 2026 is also expected to continue to be a year tempered by volatility, with market outcomes shaped by the trajectory of Red Sea disruptions, the evolution of trade policy, and the industry’s ability to absorb new capacity without eroding rate discipline.
In 2026, Ports and Economic Cities & Free Zones will remain the backbone of the Group’s infrastructure-led growth strategy whilst Maritime & Shipping and Logistics will continue to build scale to connect and support the infrastructure assets and offer customers a one-stop shop with end-to-end solutions.
In 2025, AD Ports Group’s underlying operational performance was strong across the Ports, Economic Cities & Free Zones, and Maritime & Shipping Clusters. The Group simplified and streamlined its corporate structure by transforming its Digital Cluster to a federated model in order to better support its growth strategy, efficiency and performance, particularly accelerating AI initiatives and deployment of Agentic AI across its core operations. The vertically integrated and synergistic model is now structured around four Clusters - Ports, Economic Cities & Free Zones (EC&FZ), Maritime & Shipping, and Logistics - with digital services better aligned with business requirements, strengthening the Group’s ability to serve external customers and swiftly adapt to fast-changing market conditions.
In Ports, total container throughput soared 23.0% YoY to 7.7 million TEUs for the full year, whilst general cargo volumes increased 7.0% YoY to almost 60.0 million tons. CMA Terminals Khalifa Port, which started commercial operations at the beginning of 2025, handled over 1.3 million TEUs during the year, implying an impressive utilisation of 74.0% in its first year of operations.
In Economic Cities & Free Zones, another 900,000 m2 of new land leases (net) were signed in Q4 2025, bringing the total land leases signed during the year to 3.3 km2. A defining development in 2025 was KEZAD Group’s first land sale transaction in Abu Dhabi with Mira Developments, covering 4.6 km2, for AED2.47 billion. This marked a deliberate evolution of the cluster’s business model, introducing a sale-and-lease development framework alongside traditional long-term leasing. The Group has earmarked an initial 16 km2 of KEZAD land for sale, positioning land disposals as another value driver going forward. KEZAD Group also actively started managing its built-assets portfolio to enhance capital efficiency and value creation with the sale of two stabilised, tenanted warehouses - Emtelle and Noon facilities - in November 2025 to Abu Dhabi developer Aldar Properties for AED570.0 million. Utilisation in the staff accommodation business, Sdeira Group, continued to improve rapidly, ending the year at 94.0% vs. 67.0% in 2024, and 85.0% in Q3 2025.
In Maritime & Shipping, container feeder shipping volumes rose 38.0% YoY to 3.35 million TEUs in 2025, driven by increased services and capacity, whilst the bulk, multipurpose, and Ro-Ro shipping vessel fleet reached 60, up from 28 at the end of 2024, mainly on capacity expansion for UGR, which added 11 vessels last year. The marine services vessel fleet expanded as well, to 81 vessels in 2025, up from 66 in 2024.
In Logistics, the year was characterised by a challenging global freight environment, rising operational costs, and one-time commercial settlement obligations. At the same time, 2025 was a pivotal transition year during which the Logistics Cluster put in place a new global senior management team with deep industry expertise. The new leadership initiated a comprehensive transformation programme aimed at reshaping the operating model into a product-led, standardised, and technology-enabled global logistics platform to reposition the Cluster for sustainable growth and profitability.

Japan Post has reported consolidated financial results for the nine months ended 31 December 2025. Ordinary income was ¥8,412.2 billion, an increase of ¥86.2 billion year-on-year. Net ordinary income was ¥809.5 billion, an increase of ¥106.9 billion year-on-year. Net income attributable to Japan Post Holdings was ¥258.0 billion, a decrease of ¥6.8 billion year-on-year.
Across the Company’s Postal and Domestic Logistics business, the volume of items handled decreased by 5.4% year on year due to a decrease in mail and Yu-Mail, despite an increase in Yu-Packet. Operating income increased by ¥182.7 billion, mainly due to the revision of postal rates and the inclusion of JP Tonami Groupasa consolidated subsidiary. The net operating loss improved by ¥27.9 billion due to an increase of ¥154.7 billion in operating expenses, primarily personnel expenses and collection, transport and delivery outsourcing expenses.
Within the International Logistics business segment, operating income (revenue) decreased by ¥26.5 billion, or 6.7%, mainly due to a decline in ocean freight rates and a decrease in the volume handled by the Global Forwarding business. Net operating income (EBIT) was at approximately the same level as in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

FedEx announced at its 2026 Investor Day the Company’s strategy to strengthen its position as the leading industrial network that powers the global economy. Looking ahead, FedEx is prioritising premium growth in high-margin verticals, scaling its digital and AI capabilities, and further transforming its network to drive significant profit improvement and stockholder value creation.
FedEx outlined four strategic priorities to continue its transformation and achieve its financial goals:
> Grow in High-Margin Verticals: The Company will focus its commercial strategy on premium B2B and specialised B2C segments where customers value speed, precision, visibility, and reliability. Key target industries include healthcare, automotive, aerospace, data centres, and the premium end of eCommerce.
> Build on Data & Technology Advantage: Leveraging the two petabytes of data processed daily and its unparallelled physical network, FedEx will scale its digital backbone, AI, and automation to enhance customer value, improve network planning, and unlock new revenue streams.
> Transform the Network: FedEx will continue to modernise and optimise its integrated air and surface networks. This includes evolving its Tricolor air network strategy and advancing Network 2.0, both of which enable flexibility, increase asset utilisation, and reduce structural costs while improving the customer experience. Additionally, Europe remains the Company’s largest long-term international value-creation opportunity.
> Deliver Ongoing Efficiency Gains: FedEx will continue to embed the One FedEx operating model, powered by the DRIVE process, to support durable value creation and enhanced profitability.
The Company is introducing a comprehensive multi-year financial framework with the following targets for 2029 (compared to the midpoint of the FY26 outlook provided in December and excluding FedEx Freight):
> Revenue: ~US$98.0 billion (~4.0% CAGR)
> Operating Income: ~US$8.0 billion (~17% GAAP CAGR, ~14.0% non-GAAP CAGR)
> Operating Margin: ~8.0% (GAAP up ~270 bp, non-GAAP up ~200 bp)
Aircraft-related capital spending is expected to remain at or below US$1.0 billion through 2029.
The expected ~US$3.0 billion increase in operating income is driven by targeted strategies across FedEx’s realigned reporting segments (new segments to be effective following the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight on 01 June 2026):
> US Domestic: Targeting a 10.0% operating margin in 2029 (GAAP up ~150 bp, non-GAAP up ~110 bp). Operating income growth will be driven by executing Network 2.0 and One FedEx initiatives and growing revenue from disciplined pricing and B2B and premium B2C volume.
> International: Targeting an 8.0% operating margin in 2029 (GAAP up ~450 bp, non-GAAP up ~440 bp). Key drivers include continued improvement in European performance, growth in premium cross-border and intercontinental lanes, and benefits from the Tricolor airfreight strategy.
Earlier this week, FedEx announced that, together with Advent International, A&R Investments and PPF Group, it has reached a conditional agreement on a recommended all-cash offer to take InPost private at €15.60 per share. The transaction is subject to shareholder and customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the second half of 2026. FedEx’s minority investment is anticipated to be accretive to FedEx earnings in the first year, with incremental accretion thereafter. FedEx’s 2029 financial targets do not reflect any potential contributions from InPost, which, upon completion, would be reported as “other income” on FedEx’s income statement.
Due to the Company’s execution in delivering a successful Peak season, FedEx now expects third fiscal quarter adjusted earnings per share to exceed the consensus average (as of February 11).
The planned spin-off of FedEx Freight into a new publicly traded company is on track for 01 June 2026. On 05 February 2026, FedEx Freight completed the issuance of US$3.7 billion of senior notes. FedEx Freight intends to distribute the net proceeds from the offering of the notes to FedEx Corporation as part of the consideration for FedEx Corporation’s contribution of assets to FedEx Freight in connection with the spin-off.
FedEx Freight will host an Investor Day in New York City on 08 April 2026.

Ryder System, Inc. has reported results for the three months ended 31 December 2025. Fourth quarter 2025 Highlights saw total revenue of US$3.2 billion, consistent with prior year. The results represented a fifth consecutive quarter of earnings-per-share growth and were in line with expectations. Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) and Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS) continued to generate pre-tax earnings as a percent of operating revenue at their high single-digit target. In Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), momentum from lease pricing and maintenance cost savings initiatives continued to deliver solid quality of earnings.
For the full-year 2025, total revenue was US$12.7 billion, consistent with the prior period (up 0.2%). Net earnings increased 2.0% to US$499.0 million.
In Q4, SCS earnings from revenue growth was more than offset by automotive results. Total revenue increased 3.0% as Earnings Before Tax (EBT) dropped 8.0%. Total revenue reflects increased operating revenue and subcontracted transportation costs passed through to customers. In terms of EBT, the benefits from operating revenue growth were more than offset by lost business and extended customer production shutdowns in automotive.
DTS total revenue and operating revenue decreased 8.0% and 4.0%, respectively in Q4, 2025. Total revenue reflects lower subcontracted transportation costs and operating revenue. Operating revenue decreased due to lower fleet count reflecting the prolonged freight market downturn. DTS EBT of US$40.0 million was up 19.0%. Lower bad debt and benefits from acquisition synergies were partially offset by lower operating revenue.
FMS total revenue and operating revenue decreased 1.0%. Total revenue reflects lower operating and fuel revenue, as operating revenue reflects the impact of weaker rental demand. FMS EBT of US$136.0 million was down 10.0%, as rental and used vehicle sales results reflected the weaker freight market conditions.
Looking ahead, the Company expect another year of earnings growth in 2026, driven by US$70.0 million in incremental benefits from upsized strategic initiatives.
Secular growth trends and the value of the Company’s solutions remain strong. In SCS, Ryder achieved record sales in 2025, positioning it well for growth in 2026. In FMS and DTS, the Company expect contractual sales trends to improve as freight market conditions normalise.

Wallenius Wilhelmsen closed another solid year with an adjusted EBITDA of US$1.8 billion and net profit of US$1.1 billion. Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 totalled US$1,811.0 million, down from US$1,901.0 million in 2024. Net profit for 2025 was US$1,104.0 million, up from US$1,065.0 million in 2024. Wallenius Wilhelmsen closed Q4 with an adjusted EBITDA of US$400.0 million, softer than the previous quarter. This was due to trade mix and extraordinary one-off costs.
Wallenius Wilhelmsen has used recent years to build the Company stronger and better financially, commercially and operationally. This includes a significant expansion of its book of business, enhancing its fleet by replacing older tonnage, and strengthening customer partnerships through expanded service scope and longer contract durations.
Total revenue in 2025 was US$5,240.0 million, down 1.0% compared to 2024. Shipping revenues were up 1.0% YoY, from US$3,937.0 million in 2024 to US$3,989.0 million in 2025, as higher net freight rates more than offset lower volumes and reduced fuel surcharges. Logistics revenues were down 10.0%, from US$1,205.0 million to US$1,087.0 million, with lower revenues for all products except Inland. Government revenues decreased 4.0% from US$427.0 million in 2024 to US$411.0 million in 2025, mainly due to lower US flag cargo. EBITDA in 2025 ended at US$1,801.0 million, down 4.0% from 2024. Adjusted EBITDA ended at US$1,811.0 million, down 5.0% compared to 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for Shipping services ended at US$1,561.0 million, largely in line with 2024). For Logistics services, adjusted EBITDA ended at US$133.0 million, down 32.0% YoY due to lower contribution from all business segments combined with the sale of MIRRAT in Q2. Adjusted EBITDA for Government services ended at US$153.0 million, down 17.0% YoY due to lower revenues. EBIT for 2025 ended at US$1.289 million, on par with 2024 despite lower EBITDA as the group recorded a gain of US$135.0 million from the sale of MIRRAT in Q2, 2025.
Net profit for 2025 was US$1,104.0 million, up from US$1,065.0 million in 2024, whereof US$1,017.0 million attributable to owners of the parent and US$86.0 million to non-controlling interests (primarily related to the minority shareholder in EUKOR). The improvement compared to 2024 is explained by the gain from the sale of MIRRAT, lower net financial expenses and taxes which more than offset the YoY reduction in EBITDA.
Looking ahead, with a strong book of business, and continued solid demand going into 2026, the Company expect 2026 to be another strong year for Wallenius Wilhelmsen. It maintains its financial outlook for the year, expecting 2026 adjusted EBITDA to be in in the range of US$1.65 billion - 1.75 billion.

The Company delivered record revenue in both the fourth quarter and the full year, with organic growth in every region, affirming the value it is delivering for customers and the resilience of the business model. New business wins, with notable wins in high growth verticals where GXO is seeing demand accelerating.
New business wins were US$1.1 billion in 2025, topping US$1.0 billion for the third consecutive year and providing good visibility to accelerating growth in 2026.

Over the past three months, it has added new leaders in its Commercial and Operations functions, as well as in North America, where it sees a long runway for growth. In 2026, GXO will steadily increase the deployment of AI and robotics across its network, both of which are expected to be long-term drivers of efficiency and performance.

Aramex announced its financial results for the Fourth Quarter (“Q4”) and Full Year (“FY”) ended 31 December 2025. The full-year 2025 results reflect the resilience of Aramex’s diversified business model and the continued execution of its transformation programme and product strategy. While nearshoring and changes in global trade flows continued to reshape the revenue mix and margin profile, the Company delivered performance in line with its expectations, supported by disciplined cost control.
The results for the fourth quarter and full year ended 31 December 2025 reflect a period of stable revenues, continued margin recalibration and ongoing transformation, as Aramex navigated structural shifts in global trade driven by nearshoring and regionalisation.
For the full year, Group revenues reached AED6.36 billion, up 1.0% YoY, compared to AED6.32 billion in FY 2024. In Q4, Group revenues were steady at AED1.70 billion. Performance in Q4 was boosted by record-breaking revenue in December, the highest monthly revenue in Aramex’s history, highlighting strong seasonal demand and effective operational execution.
The Company’s revenue mix continues to evolve as businesses shift supply chains closer to end markets. This structural transition has led to consistent growth in intra-regional activity across the Group’s Domestic Express, Freight Forwarding, and Logistics products, offsetting the softness in long-haul International Express. Logistics delivered the strongest performance, achieving 18.0% revenue growth for the full year and 13.0% growth in Q4, while Domestic Express revenues increased 9.0% YoY for FY 2025 and 8.0% in Q4, and Freight Forwarding revenues grew 4.0% for FY 2025, with Q4 revenues declining marginally YOY.
Geographically, the GCC and MENAT regions remained the strongest contributors, supported by resilient economic activity and sustained intra-regional trade flows. Oceania showed clear signs of operational turnaround during Q4 2025, with improving performance and positive momentum expected to continue into 2026.
Gross profit for FY 2025 amounted to AED1.45 billion, down 4.0% YoY, with a corresponding gross profit margin of 22.8%, compared to 23.9% in FY 2024. In Q4 2025, gross profit was AED385.0 million, down 3.0% YoY, with a margin of 22.7%. The decline reflects the lower contribution from higher-margin international express product along with continued inflationary pressures, and investment in domestic and logistics infrastructure.
From an overhead perspective, costs remained well controlled on a normalised basis, with growth capped and broadly in line with the prior year despite ongoing transformation activities and the onboarding of new business.
Normalised EBIT stood at AED237.7 million for the full year and AED68.4 million in Q4, excluding one-off costs related to the Accelerate28 transformation programme, restructuring initiatives and ADQ acquisition-related expenses. Normalised net profit for FY 2025 reached AED85.0 million, compared to AED141.8 million in FY 2024, in line with management forecasts and reflective of the ongoing recalibration in product profitability. Normalised net profit for Q4 amounted to AED24.9 million, compared to AED65.7 million in the quarter last year.
The Express product (consolidating International and Domestic Express services) continued to reflect the structural shift in shipment flows toward intra-regional and domestic activity. International Express revenues declined by 11.0% YoY to AED2.14 billion in FY 2025, and by 6.0% in Q4, reflecting ongoing nearshoring trends and reduced long-haul volumes. Shipment volumes declined 16.0% for the full year and 12.0% in Q4. Gross profit declined 13.0% YoY to AED677.0 million, with margins moderating to 31.6%, compared to 32.4% in the prior year, reflecting the evolving product mix. Meanwhile, Domestic Express delivered revenue growth of 9.0% YoY to AED1.84 billion, with Q4 revenues increasing by 8.0% to AED520.0 million. Shipment volumes also grew 8.0% for both the full year and Q4, reflecting strong regional demand and continued volume flows from international to domestic networks. Gross profit increased by 2.0% YoY to AED406.0 million, though margins softened to 22.0%, reflecting infrastructure investments, inflationary cost pressures and pricing competition.
Freight Forwarding recorded steady growth of 4.0% YoY to AED1.79 billion in FY 2025, supported by volume gains across air, sea and land modes. Q4 revenues declined marginally by 2.0% YoY to AED454.0 million. Gross profit for the segment increased 2.0% YoY to AED224.7 million for the full year but declined 17.0% in Q4, with margins softening to 12.5% for FY 2025 and 10.6% in Q4. The decline mainly reflects reclassification of certain transactional fees from SG&A into direct costs for the segment. This accounting shift temporarily weighed on the segment’s margin profile but did not affect underlying profitability. During the year, freight delivered good volume growth on key trade lanes: air freight growth from Europe to the Middle East on the back of new consolidation capabilities built in Europe; sea freight growth supported by outbound volume growth from China across the network; and land freight growth in the GCC and Europe attributed to utilisation gains of existing infrastructure.
Logistics delivered a solid 18.0% revenue growth YoY to AED536.7 million, with Q4 revenues increasing 13.0% to AED138.5 million. Notably, this performance was broad-based, with multiple stations contributing meaningfully to growth, underscoring the scalability and consistency of Aramex’s logistics operations. Gross profit rose 49.0% YoY to AED104.6 million for the full year and 26.0% in Q4, with margins expanding to 19.5% in FY 2025 and 19.1% in Q4, compared to 15.5% and 17.1% respectively in the prior year. The segment benefited from strong onboarding of long-term, well-priced contracts, supported by disciplined pricing strategies and continued investment in storage technologies that enhanced facility capacity across markets. While overall warehousing space expanded slightly, operational efficiency was maintained through capacity enhancements and cost controls, a result of sustained focus over the past few years.
Looking ahead, Aramex enters 2026 with a clear focus on unlocking the full value of its Accelerate28 transformation programme. With the appointment of a new Group CEO, Aramex will reinforce its product-led strategy, emphasising customer-centric innovation, margin optimisation, and investment in scalable infrastructure. Nearshoring and regionalisation are expected to continue shaping demand patterns, supporting Domestic Express, Logistics and intra-regional Freight Forwarding. The Company anticipates continued strength in regional trade flows and stable execution across core segments, supported by improving performance in Oceania and disciplined cost management across the Group.

> The Transaction is expected to complete in H2 2026.
Funds managed and/or advised by Advent International, FedEx, A&R Investments and PPF Group, together with InPost have reached a conditional agreement on an intended recommended all-cash public offer for all issued and outstanding shares in InPost at an offer price of €15.60 (cum dividend) per share.
As a leading European eCommerce enabler, InPost offers secure, automated, and easily accessible parcel pickup solutions that generate profitable last-mile business-to-consumer (B2C) shipments. The Transaction, expected to be completed in the second half of 2026, brings together InPost, Advent, FedEx, A&R, a company founded by Rafał Brzoska, and PPF (the “Consortium”), to unlock growth, consumer choice and value creation in Europe’s fast-growing delivery sector.
Post-Settlement, the Consortium will be structured with Advent holding 37.0%, FedEx holding 37.0%, A&R holding 16.0% and PPF holding 10.0%. PPF will tender the entirety of its stake in support of the Transaction and will reinvest a part of the proceeds to become a 10.0% shareholder in the Consortium. InPost will continue to operate as a standalone company, bringing together a proven and visionary founder and long-term, experienced financial and strategic investors in the sector. The business operations will be maintained in their current form, and the head office remains in Poland.
Building on the strength of its position as an innovative out-of-home delivery enabler in Poland, InPost has expanded successfully into Western Europe, quadrupling parcel volumes between 2020 and 2025. With a network of 61,000 automated parcel lockers, combined with pick-up and drop-off (PUDO) locations and fast and flexible doorstep delivery options, there is a clear path to significantly grow InPost’s out-of-home network and extend its reach to consumers across Europe. InPost also benefits from strong tailwinds in the European delivery market, including rising consumer demand for speed and convenience, attractive pricing for merchants, and the shift towards more sustainable technology enabled delivery solutions.
The Consortium is committed to supporting InPost’s existing strategy, including further expansion of its European footprint in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Benelux and the UK, the largest eCommerce market in Europe. The Consortium will also support InPost’s ongoing initiatives to redefine the European eCommerce sector by deepening partnerships across the value chain, including continued investment in its consumer-centric mobile offering.
InPost has thoroughly assessed the interest expressed by the Consortium and conducted a careful, structured process, reviewing alternatives and weighing a broad range of financial and non-financial considerations. It is confident that the Offer represents a compelling opportunity for shareholders to realise immediate and certain value at an attractive premium. It believes that the Transaction provides a solid foundation for the future of InPost, with the Consortium that has a long-term perspective on value creation and fully endorses the strategy. It is convinced that the Offer serves the best interests of the Company and all its stakeholders, and therefore the Supervisory Board members unanimously support the Offer.
Rafał Brzoska, CEO/Founder of InPost: “Building on our success in Poland, this Transaction will support our next phase of growth as we continue to grow across Europe. By partnering with the long‑term financial and strategic investors of the Consortium who know our business and the industry well, we benefit from the expertise, stability and resources needed to capitalize on the strong tailwinds including increasing e-commerce penetration, rising consumer demand for speed and convenience and the shift towards more sustainable delivery solutions. Together, we will strengthen our network and reach more consumers with enhanced fast and flexible delivery options as we continue our objective of redefining the European e-commerce sector. I remain fully committed to leading InPost in the years ahead. Our headquarters, our brand, business management and the core of our innovation capabilities will remain in Poland, which continues to be the blueprint for our successful strategy. With the support of our partners, I believe we can unlock InPost’s full potential and further grow our position as an e-commerce enabler in Western Europe.”
Ranjan Sen, Managing Partner at Advent: “InPost is transforming the European e-commerce landscape and we are excited to form this strategic partnership with FedEx, a global sector leader, to help accelerate InPost’s growth. Building on Advent’s strong track record in the logistics, technology and consumer sectors, we will support InPost’s proven strategy including the expansion of its locker network, deepening its partnerships with customers and enhancing its offering for consumers. We look forward to working with Rafał, the management team and the Consortium to provide the strategic support and long-term view needed to unlock InPost’s growth potential and enhance its position as a leading pan-European e-commerce enabler.”
Raj Subramaniam, CEO of FedEx: “FedEx has a global network that powers the industrial economy, and InPost has a strong and successful presence in Europe’s out-of-home delivery segment. We will be entering into agreements with InPost following completion of the Transaction that will provide our customers access to InPost’s last-mile B2C capabilities while bringing FedEx’s global network and logistics expertise to support InPost’s next phase of growth. Our investment in InPost reflects our disciplined approach to capital allocation and long-term value creation. Together with InPost’s leadership and our fellow consortium members, we see a clear path to unlocking growth, improving the efficiency of our B2C last mile operations, enhancing returns, and better serving customers across Europe.”
Didier Stoessel, Co-CEO of PPF: “Since our initial investment in InPost almost three years ago, we have committed to helping the company realize its vision for InPost’s European expansion. We believe the offer is attractive and are therefore selling the majority of our interest in support of the transaction. We are pleased to continue our support as a minority investor as InPost begins a new chapter in pursuit of sustainable growth.”
The Consortium believes the Transaction has compelling financial attributes for accepting shareholders and will support long-term value creation for customers, communities and employees. Alongside Advent, Rafał Brzoska and PPF, FedEx brings deep industry expertise based on its diversified and global network, and advanced technology, and supports InPost’s ambition to become a leading European eCommerce enabler. FedEx and InPost will not integrate their operations and will remain independent competitors in their respective markets and segments.
Following completion of this Transaction, in compliance with applicable antitrust laws, InPost and FedEx will enter into arm’s length commercial agreements that will enable both businesses to benefit from complementary strengths and a shared vision by:
> Connecting FedEx’s global network of 3.0 million businesses and 225 million recipients worldwide with InPost’s locker network and B2C last mile operations, allowing efficient delivery to consumers where they want to receive goods.
> Allowing FedEx to accelerate the rapid growth of out-of-home parcel delivery across key European markets, improving profitability and returns in its European operations.
InPost’s shareholders will receive a cash consideration of €15.60 for each validly tendered Share. The offer price values all issued and outstanding shares of InPost (“Shares”) at approximately €7.8 billion and delivers an immediate, certain and compelling valuation to the shareholders of the Company.
The offer price represents the following premia to the undisturbed share price referenced as of 02 January 2026 (the “Undisturbed Share Price”):
> 50.0% to the closing share price of €10.4;
> 55.0% to the 1-month volume-weighted average share price up to and including 02 January 2026 of €10.1;
> 53.0% to the 3-months volume-weighted average share price up to and including 02 January 2026 of €10.2; and
> 43.0% to the 6-months volume-weighted average share price up to and including 02 January 2026 of €10.9.
Following the initial expression of interest of the Offeror in InPost, a special transaction committee (the “Special Committee”) was formed of all non-conflicted members of the Supervisory Board and of the Management Board for the purpose of considering all aspects of a potential transaction, and ensuring that the interests of the Company and all of its stakeholders were taken into account in the decision making. The Boards have received financial and legal advice to evaluate the proposed Transaction. The Special Committee entered into discussions with the Offeror, while assuring a diligent and careful process in compliance with applicable laws. The Special Committee met on a frequent basis throughout the process to discuss the negotiations with the Offeror, to monitor the progress of the Offer, and to contemplate key decisions in connection with the Transaction.
Mr. Rafał Brzoska has not participated (and shall not participate) in any (future) discussion or meeting of the management board with respect to the proposed Transaction. Consequently, any reference to the decision-making of the management board in relation to the Transaction refers to the management board of InPost excluding Mr. Brzoska (the “Management Board”) and any unanimous action by the Management Board or Boards should be read as the unanimous action of the members of the Management Board or Boards other than Mr. Brzoska.
Mr. Stoessel, Mr. Sen, Mr. Huep and Mr. Harrer have not participated (and shall not participate) in any (future) discussion or meeting of the supervisory board with respect to the Transaction. Consequently, any reference to the decision-making of the supervisory board in relation to the Transaction refers to the supervisory board of InPost excluding Mr. Stoessel, Mr. Sen, Mr. Huep and Mr. Harrer (the “Supervisory Board” and together with the Management Board, the “Boards”) and any unanimous action by the Supervisory Board or Boards should be read as the unanimous action of the members of the Supervisory Board or Boards other than Mr. Stoessel, Mr. Sen, Mr. Huep and Mr. Harrer.
Consistent with their fiduciary duties, the Boards, with the assistance of their advisors, carefully reviewed and evaluated all aspects of the proposal, including, amongst others, the financial value of the Offer to accepting shareholders, deal certainty, the strategic, operational and social aspects, and other terms of the proposal. Subsequent to these reviews, discussions, and evaluations, the Boards entered into the Merger Agreement with the Offeror.
After multiple rounds of negotiations, the Offeror has put forward a final conditional and non-binding proposal. Following a diligent evaluation, the Boards believe that the Offer provides InPost’s shareholders with an attractive offer price at an attractive premium, with attractive non-financial terms while also delivering strong commitments in respect of deal certainty. Further, the Boards conclude that the Offer is in the best interest of the Company and will allow it to deliver superior value for all stakeholders.
Accordingly, the Boards unanimously support the proposed Transaction and recommend that InPost’s shareholders tender their Shares under the Offer, if and when made, and vote in favor of the resolutions relating to the Transaction at the relevant extraordinary general meeting of the Company.
The Consortium will be structured with Advent holding 37.0%, FedEx holding 37.0%, A&R holding 16.0% and PPF holding 10.0% of the shares in (the indirect sole shareholder of) the Offeror entity upon settlement of the Offer (“Settlement”). PPF will tender all of its Shares under the offer and will subsequently reinvest part of its proceeds in exchange for a 10.0% indirect equity stake in (the indirect sole shareholder of) the Offeror upon Settlement.
A&R will roll-over their existing shareholding in full, underscoring their long‑term commitment to supporting InPost’s strategic development and growth trajectory following Settlement.
In addition to PPF and A&R, AI Prime (Luxembourg) & Cy S.C.A., who holds approximately 5.9% of the Shares in the Company and Advent Global Opportunities Master Limited Partnership, who holds approximately 0.6% of the Shares in the Company, have each irrevocably undertaken to tender their Shares into the Offer, subject to the Offer being made and other customary conditions, and vote all those Shares in favour of the Resolutions. In total, approximately 48.0% of the Shares in the Company have been irrevocably committed to be tendered in the Offer.
On 08 February 2026, J.P. Morgan Securities plc has issued a written opinion to the Boards and Banco Santander, S.A. has issued a separate written opinion to the Supervisory Board, in each case that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth therein (i) the offer price is, in its opinion, fair to the shareholders from a financial point of view and (ii) the purchase price payable to the Company in respect of the Demerger Share Sale is fair to the Company from a financial point of view (the “Fairness Opinions”).
The Company and the Offeror have agreed to certain non-financial covenants (the “Non-Financial Covenants”) in respect of, amongst others, strategy, financing, governance, employees, customers, consumers and minority shareholders. The Offeror shall comply with each of the Non-Financial Covenants for a duration of eighteen months after Settlement, subject to any deviations with the prior approval of the Boards including the affirmative vote of at least one independent Supervisory Board member.
The Offeror supports InPost’s publicly communicated business strategy and organic and inorganic growth ambitions. The Offeror also endorses the current required Environmental, Social, and Governance principles, policies and goals of the Group.
The Offeror shall procure that the Company will remain prudently capitalised and financed to safeguard the continuity of the business.
Existing employee rights and benefits will be respected, as will the Group’s current employee consultation structure. No material changes to the Group’s workforce is envisaged as a direct consequence of the Transaction.
The Offeror intends that the Company’s corporate identity, culture and values are maintained as a separate independent entity. The Offeror will maintain the Group’s business locations including its head office, key support functions and continue to manage the Group’s business from its head office and from the respective regional offices.
The Offeror will respect the interests of all minority shareholders within the Company. As long as the Company has minority shareholders, the Company will not: (a) issue new shares for cash without offering pre-emption rights to minority shareholders; (b) engage in transactions with the Offeror or its affiliates that are not at arm’s length; or (c) take any action that disproportionately prejudices the value or rights of minority shareholders.
The Offeror intends that the Company will maintain customer centricity and provide continued quality of service and offering to customers and consumers.
The Offeror will fund the Transaction through a combination of equity funding and debt financing. The equity funding for the Transaction in an aggregate amount of €5,918 million is to be provided by Advent, FedEx, A&R and PPF, which is secured through binding equity commitments. The Offeror has secured committed debt financing from a consortium of reputable financial institutions for an aggregate amount of up to €4,950 million (which will be reduced if any existing financing of InPost (or any portion thereof) remains in place) comprising senior term facilities (to be denominated in EUR and PLN), senior secured bridge facilities and a multi-currency revolving credit facility, which is fully committed on a ‘certain funds’ basis. The Offeror has no reason to believe that any conditions to the equity financing or the debt financing to be satisfied by the Offeror will not be fulfilled on or prior to Settlement. From the aggregate debt commitment amount and equity commitment amount pursuant to the arranged equity financing and debt financing, the Offeror will be able to fund the acquisition of the Shares under the Offer and the Squeeze-Out Proceedings (if implemented), the purchase price under the Post-Closing Demerger and Liquidation (if implemented) and the payment of fees and expenses related to the Offer. It is envisaged that (part of) the current financing arrangements of InPost will be refinanced as a result of the Transaction.
InPost and the Offeror believe the sustainable and long-term success of InPost will be enhanced under private ownership and acknowledge the importance of the Offeror acquiring 100.0% of the Shares (or 100.0% of the businesses of the Group). Both InPost and the Offeror believe that private ownership will allow InPost to operate more efficiently and will increase its ability to achieve its goals and implement its strategy, while removing costs related to listing requirements and dependency on market expectations driven by short-term performance outlook and periodic reporting. Furthermore, a private setting increases the ability to achieve and implement a more flexible and efficient capital structure.
If, after Settlement or settlement of the Shares tendered during the post-acceptance period (if applicable), the Offeror holds at least 80.0%, but less than 95.0% of the Shares, the Offeror and the Company have agreed to execute a post-closing demerger whereby the Company (a) at the occasion of a legal demerger, will incorporate a subsidiary (“Company Splitco”) to which the Company transfers its business and (b) subsequently will sell its shares in Company Splitco to the Offeror ((a) and (b) together, the “Demerger Share Sale”), (c) following which the Company is liquidated ((a), (b) and (c) together, the “Post-Closing Demerger and Liquidation”).
If the Offeror holds at least 95.0% of the Shares after Settlement or settlement of the Shares tendered during the post-acceptance period (if applicable), the Offeror shall commence statutory squeeze-out proceedings to obtain 100.0% of the Shares (the “Squeeze-Out Proceedings”).
Two extraordinary general meetings of shareholders of InPost (each an “EGM”) will be convened in connection with the Transaction. The first EGM will be held during the Offer period to inform shareholders about the Transaction and to allow them to vote on governance changes, subject to and effective as per Settlement (the “Offer Resolutions”). The second EGM will take place after Settlement, during which shareholders will vote on the resolutions approving the Post-Closing Demerger and Liquidation (the “Demerger Resolutions” and, together with the Offer Resolutions, the “Resolutions”). The Demerger Resolutions will be subject to a 75.0% majority requirement and will be subject to Settlement. By tendering their Shares under the Offer, shareholders will give a proxy and voting instruction to vote in favour of the Demerger Resolutions. The Boards recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions.
InPost and the Offeror shall seek to obtain the relevant and recommended regulatory and competition clearances (the “Regulatory Clearances”) as soon as practicable and prepare and file with the regulatory authorities the relevant applications. To that end, they shall provide the regulatory authorities with any additional information and documentation that may be reasonably requested in connection with these applications.
As part of the Merger Agreement, InPost has entered into customary undertakings not to solicit any third party offers. If a bona fide third party makes an offer for at least 80.0% of the Shares which, in the reasonable opinion of the Boards, is a more beneficial offer and transaction for InPost than the Transaction and exceeds the Offer price by at least 10.0% (a “Competing Offer”), the Offeror has the opportunity to match such Competing Offer. If it does, and on balance the terms and conditions of such revised offer are, in the good faith opinion of the Boards, at least equal to those of the Competing Offer, the Merger Agreement will remain in force. However, if a Competing Offer is not matched by the Offeror, the Company shall be entitled to (conditionally) agree to the Competing Offer, after which each party may terminate the Merger Agreement. The same conditions apply to any consecutive Competing Offer.
If the Merger Agreement is terminated in the event the Company agreed to a Competing Offer or made an intervening event recommendation change, the Company shall pay the Offeror an amount of €78.0 million. If the Merger Agreement is terminated in the event a shareholder irrevocable undertaking is no longer in full force and effect, the Offeror shall pay the Company an amount of €78.0 million. If the Merger Agreement is terminated because of a material breach of the Merger Agreement by either the Offeror or the Company, the defaulting party shall pay the non-defaulting party an amount of €78.0 million.
The Offeror intends to launch the Offer as soon as practically possible and in accordance with the applicable statutory timetable. The Offer Memorandum is expected to be published, and the Offer is expected to commence, in Q2 2026.
InPost will hold an informative EGM prior to the closing of the Offer period and will publish its position statement at least ten business days prior to the closing of the Offer period to inform the shareholders about the Transaction and adopt the Offer Resolutions that will be applicable after Settlement. InPost will hold a second EGM after Settlement to adopt the Post-Closing Demerger and Liquidation Resolutions.
Based on the required steps and subject to the approval of the Offer Memorandum, InPost and the Offeror anticipate that the Offer will close in H2, 2026.

On the basis of preliminary figures, Hapag-Lloyd achieved Group revenues of US$21.1 billion (€18.6 billion) in the 2025 financial year, up 1.9%. The Group EBITDA stood at US$3.6 billion (€3.2 billion), down 28.0%, and the Group EBIT fell to US$1.1 billion (€1.0 billion), down 60.7%.
The result was at the upper end of the earnings forecast and, as expected, below the prior-year level.
Robust growth in global trade and the new Gemini Network led to an 8.0% increase in the transport volume, to 13.5 million TEU. At the same time, the average freight rate fell by 8.0% compared to the prior year, to 1,376 US$/TEU.
Higher costs due to the ongoing rerouting of ships via the Cape of Good Hope and start-up expenses for the Gemini Network, weighed on the annual results. On the other hand, Gemini related cost savings started kicking in during the second half of 2025 and will be fully realised in 2026. One-time non-cash effects in Q4 had a positive impact.
Hapag-Lloyd will publish its 2025 Annual Report with the audited financial figures and an outlook for the current financial year on 26 March 2026.

Damietta Alliance Container Terminals S.A.E. is a joint venture established to develop and operate the DACT terminal. Shareholders are Hapag-Lloyd Damietta GmbH (39.0%) (represented by Hanseatic Global Terminals), EUROGATE GmbH (29.956%) and Contship Italia S.p.A (29.956%), together with Ship & C.R.E.W. Egypt S.A.E. (1.00%) and Middle East Logistics & Consultants Group (0.07%).
DACT places a strong focus on occupational safety, environmental performance and energy efficiency.

Amazon Pharmacy will expand its Same-Day prescription delivery service to nearly 4,500 US cities and towns by the end of 2026, adding nearly 2,000 new communities over the course of the year. The expansion will bring fast, reliable medication delivery to millions of customers nationwide, including new states such as Idaho and Massachusetts, where pharmacy closures, staffing shortages, and transportation barriers have historically limited access to care.
Amazon Pharmacy's Same-Day prescription delivery expansion brings fast, reliable medication delivery to customers nationwide while providing 24/7 access to licensed pharmacists.
In 2025, Prime members enjoyed record-breaking delivery speeds, with Amazon Pharmacy customers receiving fast, free prescription deliveries nationwide along with a wide range of prescription discount savings.
In 2025, customers experienced meaningful delivery speed improvements across a wide range of communities, from dense urban neighbourhoods like Manhattan, reached via e-bikes, to suburban areas such as Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania using electric vehicles, and remote locations like Mackinac Island, Michigan, where prescriptions are delivered by ferries and horses.
In Los Angeles, One Medical patients were able to pick up medications within minutes using Amazon Pharmacy Kiosks located in the lobby before leaving their primary care office, allowing patients to begin treatment immediately after an appointment. Amazon Pharmacy will continue expanding in-person kiosk access across additional locations in 2026.
Amazon Pharmacy's fast, convenient prescription delivery extends beyond major metropolitan areas. The service provides a variety of fast shipping options to remote Alaska towns and across the Navajo Nation in communities such as Fort Defiance and Keams Canyon, where the nearest brick-and-mortar pharmacy can be more than a 45–60-minute drive away and other mail-order delivery services take between five and ten days. By leveraging Amazon’s logistics network, many customers receive prescriptions the next day or within two to three days.
As Amazon Pharmacy continues to expand Same-Day Delivery nationwide, customers across all 50 states and Washington, D.C. can still have prescriptions delivered to their door, with many receiving medications the next day or within two to three days.
Amazon Pharmacy’s Same-Day Delivery expansion builds on the Company’s growing set of features, investments in savings-driven programmes, and partnerships designed to make pharmacy care more accessible, affordable, and convenient.

The CMA CGM Group has become the first shipping line to send the first large containership, CMA CGM FIORDLAND (5,900 TEU), to the new terminal of Puerto Antioquia, a new deep-water port designed to transform Colombia’s logistics landscape of perishable exports and to support the country’s growing role in international trade.
CMA Terminals, in partnership with local pure players and international investors, is a shareholder and contributor to the development of the new facility of Puerto Antioquia. This state of the art, deep sea terminal represents a major milestone for Colombia’s economy, improving the flow of containerised, bulk, Ro-Ro, and general cargo while offering a sustainable and efficient logistics alternative on the Caribbean coast.
Puerto Antioquia is set to become a game changer for the country’s agricultural exports, particularly for bananas, avocados, and other fresh produce grown in the Urabá region. Until now, containers were shipped from the port of Turbo, also located in the Gulf of Urabá (Antioquia), where limited draft and barge-based operations made exports more complex and costly.
With its deep draft and direct quayside operations, Puerto Antioquia will improve the reliability, efficiency, and competitiveness of Colombia’s supply chains. The terminal’s multipurpose design also allows the handling of dry and refrigerated containers, bulk cargo, and vehicles. The Puerto Antioquia terminal also generated significant employment opportunities, contributing to the local economy through job creation during both the construction phase and port operations.
Located on the southeastern side of Bahía Colombia, in the Gulf of Urabá (Antioquia), near the mouth of the León River and the Nueva Colonia district of Turbo, Puerto Antioquia provides direct access to Colombia’s key agricultural and industrial heartlands.
Situated only 300 km from Medellín and 700 km from Bogotá, the terminal offers a much shorter route to and from Colombia’s major economic zones compared to existing Atlantic ports such as Cartagena, reducing distances by half to Medellín and by one-third to Bogotá.
Connected via new 4G highway corridors (a national program of modern, high-capacity toll highways designed to reduce travel times and improve freight efficiency), the port is on average 33.0% closer to Colombia’s main production centres than existing Caribbean terminals. This enhanced connectivity reduces logistics costs, shortens transit times, and lowers carbon emissions, improving Colombia’s competitiveness across all export sectors, including agriculture, manufacturing, and consumer goods.
Construction of the terminal began in 2022. Due to the region’s specific geological conditions, an innovative offshore design was adopted: a 3.8-kilometre viaduct connects the onshore yard to an offshore platform capable of accommodating up to five container vessels simultaneously.
Puerto Antioquia is designed to welcome vessels of up to 15,000 TEUs, significantly improving Colombia’s maritime connectivity and competitivity for agricultural exports of dry and temperature-controlled goods.
The terminal’s expected annual handling capacity includes:
> 650,000 TEUs per year (≈ 6,600 weekly moves)
> 2.5 million metric tons of dry bulk (11 silos and 4 warehouses)
> 50,000 Ro-Ro units per year (2,700 slots)
> 450,000 metric tons of general cargo
To support efficient and sustainable operations, the terminal is equipped with:
> Three Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes and eight electric Rubber-Tired Gantry (RTG) cranes
> 1300 reefer plugs
> 70 container trucks, 26 bulk trucks, and 12 terminal tractors
> Two scanners, two reach stackers, and four empty container handlers (EHC)
The site is secured through on-site scanner operations and anti-narcotics inspections by police and supported by a 4.5 km access road and a 4.3 km dedicated power line.
Additional services, including bunkering and ship supply, further extend Puerto Antioquia’s operational capabilities.
Following the acquisition of Santos Brasil, South America’s largest container terminal in the Port of Santos, Puerto Antioquia marks a new strategic milestone for the CMA CGM Group in Latin America. This new terminal is fully aligned with the CMA CGM Group’s strategy to expand its infrastructure portfolio in support of its global shipping and logistics network, particularly in high-growth regions.
Puerto Antioquia adds a strategic presence on the Caribbean coast of South America, complementing the Group’s growing footprint in Latin America and contributing to more balanced and diversified global port operations.

P&O Ferries is strengthening its North Sea freight offering with the long-term charter of a new RoRo vessel, the Lismore, which has now joined the fleet. Sister ship to the Longstone, the Lismore will be deployed on the Zeebrugge–Tilbury route, increasing capacity for unaccompanied freight and offering customers greater guaranteed space across P&O Ferries’ North Sea network.
With 4,076 lane metres and the ability to carry up to 290 freight units, the Lismore will enable P&O Ferries to support additional volumes from freight forwarders, logistics operators and shippers seeking resilient, reliable and predictable North Sea capacity.
P&O Ferries’ focus is on being a trusted, long-term partner to freight customers. By increasing capacity on the Zeebrugge–Tilbury corridor, it is making it easier for customers to secure guaranteed space, plan with confidence and support their growth. This investment underlines the Company’s determination to offer a service that is dependable, competitive and aligned with evolving demand across key European supply chains.
P&O Ferries will operate Lismore alongside Longstone on the Zeebrugge–Tilbury route, providing an attractive option for customers moving unaccompanied trailers and other units between the UK and mainland Europe. The weekly lane metre capacity for the route has the potential to be uplifted by 9,000m.

Too Good To Go has partnered with PostNL to support the fulfilment of its parcels. As part of this collaboration, the Company is using PostNL’s recently opened fulfilment centre in Schifferstadt near Mannheim, operated by Spring GDS, PostNL’s international delivery solutions subsidiary. With this step, Too Good To Go (TGTG) becomes one of the first major customers of the new site, strengthening its logistics capabilities and supporting further growth in Germany and Austria.
The fulfilment centre near Mannheim has been operational since early November 2025. The facility offers 10,000 m2 of operational space and a total capacity of up to 4.0 million parcels per year.

DHL Group and Westwing are expanding their long-standing partnership to offer faster and more sustainable shipping. With DHL's GoGreen Plus service, Westwing deliveries are made with reduced transport-related greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, all Westwing shipments fulfilled by DHL exclusively use paper-based packaging materials, limiting the use of plastic. DHL is also handling a higher share of Westwing's parcel volume.
The Post & Parcel Germany division of DHL Group and Westwing have enjoyed a successful collaboration for several years, establishing DHL as one of Westwing's most trusted partners for last-mile deliveries. Building on this foundation and as part of Westwing's premiumisation strategy, the Company identified DHL as its premium delivery partner in Germany. This recognition aligns with Westwing's mission to provide a premium shopping and delivery experience for its customers.
Driven by a shared commitment to sustainability, Westwing and DHL are expanding their shipping offerings through DHL's GoGreen Plus service. By relying on insetting and the "book & claim system", the GoGreen Plus service actively reduces greenhouse gas emissions through investments in logistics solutions across the supply chain, such as electric delivery vehicles, sustainable fuels, and renewable energy sources. The "book & claim system" is a way to de-couple the benefits of sustainable fuels from the physical product and transfer them separately to paying customers such as Westwing, even when their shipments are not physically transported with the assets using these fuels.
By prioritising more emission-reduced shipping, both companies aim to meet the growing consumer demand for efforts to address greenhouse gas emissions.
Together with DHL, Westwing now offers the 'PUDO' (Pick-Up / Drop-Off) option in Germany, providing deliveries to lockers and drop-off locations for the permanent assortment. This year, the service will be extended to non-permanent assortments, enabling customers to use PUDO across Westwing's entire product portfolio. The service responds to growing customer demand for flexible and convenient last-mile solutions.
To further optimise its European logistics network, DHL has made a strategic investment in its advanced International Logistics Centre in Poland, located just two kilometres from Westwing's European Logistics Centre (ELC) in Robakowo (close to Poznań). This facility is designed to improve operational efficiency by reducing transport times and streamlining parcel sorting processes. Westwing was among the first partners to secure access to this state-of-the-art facility, enabling for quicker processing and distribution of its products to customers across Germany and beyond. The International Logistics Centre allows DHL to provide significantly faster lead times to German Westwing customers, with some orders being delivered in as little as two days.
This rapid turnaround is expected to boost customer satisfaction and loyalty. Beyond Germany, DHL eCommerce is supporting Westwing's international growth and customer satisfaction by contributing to a consistent, high-quality delivery experience across selected European markets.

This intricate move, managed in collaboration with Christchurch-based Pacific Simulators (PacSim), a leading global provider of fully-tactile, fixed-based, flight training devices (FTDs), highlights B&H Worldwide’s ability to provide customised logistics solutions for unique aerospace challenges.
The project involved a comprehensive, end-to-end logistics strategy, designed by B&H Worldwide to meet PacSim’s specific requirements. The cockpit, which will be repurposed into an advanced A330 flight training device, was transported via sea freight, a solution that provided a secure and reliable journey for the high-value asset. B&H’s expertise was instrumental in ensuring the entire process, from initial handling to final delivery, was meticulously managed.

With over two decades of fulfilment expertise on which to draw, Spectra has gained a reputation among its clients for reliability. This reputation inevitably results in existing clients adding volume to their fulfilment contracts, as they grow comfortable trusting Spectra with more projects and additional complexity within those projects. It also results in new clients coming to Spectra and launching pilot programmes to verify that their excellent reputation is deserved and that they can serve their needs.
As a third-party logistics provider, Spectra handles the entire fulfilment chain for its clients, from receiving products to managing inventory to pick and pack, kitting, and shipping those materials to end users. Clients range from start-ups to very large in scale, and Spectra offers expertise in B2B and B2C fulfilment applications equally.
In recent years, Spectra’s stellar reputation has led to quickly increasing demand among its new and existing clients, and in order to accommodate future requests with the same high quality of service that its clients have grown to expect, Spectra increased its space in 2025 and is again increasing its available warehouse space in 2026.
Spectra is based in Columbia, South Carolina, near the major East Coast ports of Charleston, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia. Located midway between Miami and New York and close to Charlotte, Atlanta, and Jacksonville, the Spectra fulfilment facility is in a strategic geographical area for quick delivery to a large percentage of the US population. This strategic location combines with the Spectra team’s detailed knowledge of the shipping industry to help clients achieve above-average speed in fulfilment.

Spectra’s depth of expertise allows the team to deliver top quality results on a consistent basis even when fulfilment projects are very complex.

Bleckmann has announced the ‘go-live’ of a new automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) at its site in Almelo – Newton (NL). The new integrated goods-to-person system is an integrated Kardex AutoStore solution with automated packing line and provides a streamlined alternative to traditional rack storage. It dramatically reduces inventory footprint while speeding up picking and packing operations.
The new system is the next step in Bleckmann’s automation strategy, which aims to address labour scarcity and provide a smoother fulfilment process.
The new AutoStore uses up to seven times less space than a traditional picking floor to store the same amount of inventory. This increases storage capacity, allowing more SKUs (from multiple customers) to be stored simultaneously and greatly reducing the risk of stock shortages. Items are also retrieved by radio-controlled robots, saving time by eliminating the need to walk towards picking locations.
The AutoStore is part of an integrated solution that requires minimal human intervention. This features an advanced conveyor system from carton erectors and an autonomous packing station with height reduction of the cartons, which significantly streamlines the fulfilment process.
Automating the labour-intensive picking and packing process will enable Bleckmann’s clients to offer their customers later cut-off times for next-day delivery, among other benefits. These include intelligent demand forecasting.
Switching to the AutoStore solution has many other benefits. The new system greatly reduces the likelihood of picking mistakes and offers exceptional flexibility and scalability. Another advantage of the AutoStore system is its low energy consumption. Ten robots at work use the same amount of energy as one vacuum cleaner. As the robots can work in the dark, energy can also be saved by switching off warehouse lights.

WiseTech Global announced a new partnership with Hapag-Lloyd, one of the world’s largest container shipping lines and first mover in equipping its 2.0 million container fleet with smart devices, to trial the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology for real-time global container visibility, tracking and data collection.
Through this initiative, Hapag-Lloyd’s fleet of 2.0 million containers are equipped with IoT devices that frequently transmit location updates directly to WiseTech’s ecosystem of platforms for the logistics, global trade and supply chain industry. This pilot specifically tests the ability to ingest and process millions of data points daily, applying advanced algorithms to transform the IoT data into meaningful milestones and products used to drive decision-making.
WiseTech can then distribute the location and positioning data to Hapag-Loyd’s customers via a range of channels such as the CargoWise Cargo Tracker and Container Automation solutions. More distribution channels are planned, including via GLO, INTTRA and Neo.
Moving beyond standard milestone updates, the collaboration aims to provide highly accurate, real-time insights on container positioning, transit conditions, and arrival predictions. Hapag-Lloyd’s customers will not only see where a container is, but also detect anomalies such as deviations or delays that might impact its arrival at the next critical handover point, delivering unprecedented accuracy for data-driven planning and execution.
In addition, Hapag Lloyd delivers the shipping industry’s first dynamic estimated time of arrival (ETA) prediction – Live ETA – that adjusts in real time based on actual movement and location data collected via IoT pings from GPS tracking devices on the containers, regardless of the mode of transport, to provide dynamic arrival time calculations. For shipments where Hapag-Lloyd manages the entire journey from port to customer location, this tool improves delivery time accuracy by 75.0% compared to traditional static schedule predictions.
By unlocking richer visibility and smarter forecasting, WiseTech and Hapag-Lloyd are setting the stage for a new era of data-driven logistics execution, empowering customers with unprecedented accuracy and control across global supply chains.
As the trial progresses, both companies will review and refine the data quality, accuracy, and usability of live IoT feeds at full scale, while gathering feedback from joint customers to inform further product development and commercialisation. The goal is to deliver a unique, value-added ocean container visibility solution that integrates seamlessly into WiseTech’s platforms.
This initiative marks a pivotal moment for the industry, as carriers and technology providers work together to bridge the gap between raw IoT data and actionable supply chain intelligence.

TGW Logistics has been awarded BSH Hausgeräte GmbH's second order within just a few months. Following a project for the dishwasher manufacturer in the Bavarian town of Dillingen, a new shuttle warehouse with a clad rack structure will be completed in Nuremberg, Germany, by mid-2028. With this design, the rack structure also supports the building's wall and ceiling elements, making optimal use of the available space.
BSH Hausgeräte GmbH represents a portfolio of world-renowned home appliance brands, including Bosch, Siemens, Gaggenau and Neff. Their product range includes everything from stoves, ovens and kitchen hoods to dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, fridges and freezers, as well as small household appliances. Founded in 1967, the Company employs roughly 57,000 people worldwide and generated a revenue of €15.3 billion in 2024.
A spare parts logistics location is currently being built in Nuremberg for BSH Hausgeräte GmbH. The Company opted for a shuttle warehouse with a clad rack structure as the fulfilment system; this means that the building's wall and ceiling elements will also be supported by the rack structure. This allows the available space to be used to the fullest. Technically speaking, the planning and realisation of such a structure is an ambitious undertaking: the rack must withstand the force of wind and the weight of snow, and the connections between the wall and ceiling construction and to the floor slab are crucial to the overall stability of the system.
The core element of the TGW solution is a shuttle system with roughly 300,000 storage locations. Orders will be compiled at ergonomic PickCenter picking workstations; a network of about one mile of energy-efficient KingDrive conveyor technology will interconnect the various areas of the distribution centre.
WERX, the TGW Warehouse Management Software, will handle planning, controlling, and monitoring of all shuttle and conveyor processes and will be connected to BSH Hausgeräte GmbH's SAP warehouse management software.

Yusen Logistics has been supporting Rapidus Corporation in advancing logistics solutions that reduce their environmental impact. In May 2025, Yusen Logistics established a dedicated project team, and in November 2025, it began providing an innovative dashboard that visualises the effects of Scope 3 CO2e emission reduction as part of this initiative.
Rapidus, established in August 2022, is a semiconductor manufacturing company dedicated to developing, manufacturing, and providing advanced logic semiconductors and packaging technologies. Under its philosophy of “Further innovate toward a truly green society,” Rapidus strives to minimise the environmental impact of its manufacturing activities at its Chitose site in Hokkaido.
To reduce CO2e emissions from logistics, Rapidus has been developing low-environmental-impact logistics models through consolidated transportation and modal shifts. In response to Rapidus’ request to quantitatively evaluate the benefits of these initiatives, Yusen Logistics proposed and developed a dashboard that visualises the CO2e reduction results achieved through these measures.
The dashboard compares CO2e emissions from actual transportation with hypothetical emissions generated under a scenario in which each supplier transports individually. To ensure accuracy, Yusen verified extensive transportation data and established realistic transport routes for each item in the hypothetical model. This enabled a highly precise visualisation of CO2e reduction effects. CO2e calculations are aligned with internationally recognised guidelines, including the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework and ISO 14083.
Yusen Logistics will continue supporting Rapidus in its mission to reduce environmental impact, contribute to local industries, and protect Hokkaido’s natural environment. Furthermore, Yusen Logistics will also continue advancing Green Transformation (GX) and delivering sustainable value to customers worldwide.
