International shipping involves multiple countries by definition, as well as ports, ships, containers, etc. How could it not also involve "collaboration" ?

- mschuster91 4y agoWhy do you think that e.g. Deutsche Bahn is active in sixty countries with their logistics subsidiary DB Schenker? Or why Deutsche Post subsidiary DHL is active virtually worldwide? Or why Amazon has shifted a large amount of parcels to their own logistics networks instead of using the national shipping services like USPS? Vertical integration offers way better profits than cooperating with intermediaries, and the ultra large logistics giants want to make as much profit as possible.
