Companies and international Transport, Carriers market shares, Noli, data 2017
Since 1998 the Bank of Italy has conducted a survey on international transport of goods to and from Italy.
The survey, which contributes to the compilation of the balance of payments services account, collects information mainly on freight rates broken down by modes of transport and cargo, as well as on the market shares of carriers distinguished by nationality.
The results of the survey, based on interviews conducted among 162 major international freight operators, describe for 2017 a trend in freight rates on average for land transport (road and rail), while for maritime and air transport, and a recovery is recorded after the decline of the previous year.
The market shares of resident carriers are on average increased compared to 2016 in the naval sector, but decreased in the street; the balance of Italy’s mercantile transport balance has worsened, reaching nearly 6 billion euros.
