The COVID-19 Pandemic's Impact on Container Terminal Operators

In the following commentary, we assess the potential impact of the coronavirus on global container terminal volumes by looking at historical data and performance during the 2008–09 financial crisis, medium-term indicators of demand, and other factors. We also look at the impact of trade tensions on container terminal volumes at major North American ports, in light of the potential reopening of the trade deal entered into between the U.S. and China in January 2020. DBRS Morningstar rates container terminal operators with a presence in North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia, all on a private basis and does not publish comments on such ratings.
