PART B: CASE STUDY
(8 MARKS)
The Parisian airports handled in 1995 over 50 million passengers. In 2000 that number increased to 73.5
million: 48.1 million by CDG and 25,4 million by Orly. This means a global annual growth of 6.1%, with a
growing rate of 11.4% at CDG and a negative rate at Orly. This allowed ADP to remain among the first six
airports operators of the world in terms of number of passengers. Cargo movements in Paris represent
only around 5% of the total. This increase in traffic was due partially to the dynamism of the airlines, specially Air
France as the main carrier in France and representing approximately half of the traffic of the Paris region. Air
France made of CDG -Terminal 2 its main platform during this period. By setting up in particular the
infrastructures necessary. In 2001 we observed a decrease in the traffic levels of around 3.5 %, CDG falling 0.6 %
and Orly 9,6%.
This was due to the attacks of September 11, 2001 and to the financial problems of a national carrier: Air Liberté.
As the reader is surely aware, to anticipate and forecast the traffic demand –and therefore the demand of airport
services-in the long run is a very difficult but fundamental exercise to plan on issues related to an airport capacity.
The existing forecast analyses for the region show an increase in the traffic during the upcoming years, although
with a much smaller growth rate than the one we observed during the 1990 ́s.
The traffic level for the Paris region might grow up to around 100 million passengers in 2010 and approximately
130 million passengers in 2020 (CDG and Orly), assuming that there are no limits in the airports capacity.
However, the infrastructure development of ADP is restricted by physical (capacity of the runways and air
terminals), financial, and environmental constraints and regulation.
The maximum (or saturation) capacity of the landside (terminal buildings) is not easy to estimate, especially
because this measure only makes sense when it is done with respect to a certain level of service (length of queues,
number of passengers per square meter). Considering a “normal” level of quality – according to international
standards-and the current distribution of traffic in time, the capacity of CDG without Terminal 2E is around 44
million passengers in 2001.
With the actual traffic level of 48 million passengers, the quality at CDG was somehow degraded, especially in air
terminal CDG1. With the opening of the terminal E, the “normal” level of service capacity of CDG was intended
to be around 55 million in 2005.

For your information, please read carefully the assessment overview below.
The two articles provided below are extracted from the news letters reported by two reporters Chambers,
S. (2020) on his report titled “Tanker Analysts turn Bearish” and Berti, A. (2020), on his report titled
“The impact of Covid-19 on global shipping: part 1, system shock”. Please read and analyze carefully
these newsletters and use them as references to answer the assessment questions which follow. You can
also use your past learning experiences as an added value to answer the assessment questions
effectively.
The article: Tanker analysts turn bearish
Chambers (2020) in his report titled “Tanker analysts turn bearish” reported that tanker
analysts turn bearish on prospects for a sector that has been surging for most of the year.
According to Oslo-based Cleave Securities, tanker earning fall due to slumping demand (low)
for petroleum brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chambers (2020) emphasized to his report that the Oslo-based Cleave Securities expects
Petroleum demand to slow down 16 million per barrel a day which is lower than December
2019. Oil demand increases and oil price continue to decline that leads to a negative impact in
the demand side Market. Cleave Securities forecasted that the order book versus fleet is
currently at its lowest level since and contracting to stay depressed in the coming years that
resulted into weak earnings in the supply side market.
Chambers (2020) added to his newsletter an information reported by George Lazaridis, on
which he emphasized that the drop-in oil consumption brought about by COVID 19 linked
lockdown around the world could end up leaving a “much bigger scar” than what most are
anticipating.
Chambers (2020) on his article reported by Lazaridis, explains that once the measure is taken
back and consumers return to normality, their spending pattern may well have forever
changed. Further, he added that More people may be tasked to work remotely from here and
out, companies may seek to shorten out supply chains and look for greater reliance in local
resources so as to avert future disruptions, while international travel could be curved as people
come to terms with alternatives and look to cut back on what may from now on be seen as
unnecessary. The market landscape for crude oil may well have shifted, while at the same time
the wind fall for tankers may now be cut shorter than expected (Chambers, 2020).

Article: The impact of Covid-19 on global shipping: part 1, system shock
The main reason of the slump in demand for goods from China was due to the unprecedented
spread of the nCOVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 hugely impacted the shipping markets in the
highest level worldwide having a ripple effect from container ships to oil tanker.
According to the report of Berti (2020) which was explained by Daejin Lee shutdowns and
limited activity further led to labour shortages across Chinese maritime segments, which in
turn affected trade. Daejin added that “exports from mainland China have dropped
significantly in February 2020 as the Purchasing Managers Index compiled by IHS Markit
dropped from 51.1 in January to 40.3 in February”.
Berti (2020) reported that according to the company’s Charter Rate assessment, Mid-February
data from market intelligence service Vessels Value showed a radical drop in demand for
Chinese crude tankers from an average of 3.4 billion tonne miles per day in 2019 to almost
zero. He added to his report that the daily cost of hiring a very large crude carrier (VLCC) for
a year plummeted by over 20% between 14 January and 14 February 2020. Spot earnings also
decreased by more than 70%.
The COVID 19 contributed a global crisis for all sectors including shipping, which was hit by
slowing demand in goods’ production, exports and oil (Berti, 2020).
Berti (2020) wrote the report of Vessels Value chief operating officer Adrian Economakis
stated that “in terms of rate, the most significant affected have been the large crude tankers and
the large bulkers. Further he added that China is a significant importer of crude oil, usually
through VLCCs, so the reduction in economic activity in China is certainly having a negative
demand effect for crude tankers.”
Berti (2020) stated that based on Economakis report, capesize was another heavily affected
category, which is in largely driven by China. He added to his report that “the problem with
capesize is that the market had been terrible and it’s gotten even worse, he therefore concluded
that “it is effectively reaching a five-year low at around just over $2,000 a day earnings, which
means they’re losing a lot of money per day.”
The container sector, another category that significantly relies on China, fell victim to the
coronavirus outbreak. “The container sector is naturally less liquid, but we have seen a
reduction in rates and values. Containers are the most closely linked to economic activities and
economic activity is down all around the world (Berti, 2020).
From the story of the COVID 19 there’s no doubt that the shipping industry hugely hurt by its
impact and even causing the rests of the world to slow down their relationship with China

socially, economically and even politically. There is only one thing that the world needs to
realize that despite of the COVID-19 pandemic which was started in Wuhan China during mid
December 2019, the world is still dependent on Chinese demand, exports, demand for raw
materials, the exportation of finished commodities to drive the cargo volumes and demands in
the global levels.

The two articles revolve around the transportation industry and, more specifically, the shipping
transportation. In the shipping industry, tankers are used to transport oil to various destinations around the
globe. It is in the same industry where containers, crude tankers, and very large crude carriers are used.
The second article talks about charter rates, which are rates at which companies hire sea vessels in order to
make use of them. T…
