Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• CMA CGMcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerCMA CGM is both a major customer (retaining 10% equity stake after selling the terminal to EQT in 2017) and a key strategic partner. CMA CGM's vessels call at the Fenix terminal, utilizing on-dock intermodal rail connections. In 2026, CMA CGM launched the Mekong Transpacific Express (MTE) service routing through Fenix for on-dock rail connections at the Port of Los Angeles. CMA CGM and APL continue to be major customers of Fenix Marine Services.
• TMV LogisticsminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerFenix Marine Services is listed as an industry advisor supporting the TMV Logistics $200 million venture fund targeting maritime, shipbuilding, ports, and intermodal logistics innovation. The fund focuses on industrial-grade autonomy, robotics, maritime dual-use technologies, energy transition, and operational AI. Fenix's participation as an advisor indicates involvement in diligence, product development, pilot deployments, and customer introductions for portfolio companies.
• Union Pacific RailroadcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerUnion Pacific is one of two Class I railroads (alongside BNSF) with on-dock rail access at the Fenix terminal. The terminal has 8 working tracks with capacity for up to three double-stack trains at a time, and overall capacity for 64 five-well double-stack railcars plus additional capacity for 74 railcars.

Direct peers

• APM Terminals: APM Terminals, a Maersk subsidiary, operates container terminals globally including at the Port of Los Angeles (APMT Pier 400 / APMT-Pier 400). Directly comparable as a deep-sea container terminal operator and concessionaire serving ocean carriers at the same gateway.
• SSA Marine: SSA Marine operates the largest independent container terminal network in the Americas, including SSA Terminal (Pier J) at Port of Long Beach adjacent to Fenix. Direct competitor for ocean-carrier lift volume across the San Pedro Bay complex.
• Pier J / SSA Terminal Long Beach: SSA Terminal at Pier J in the Port of Long Beach is one of the largest container terminals on the US West Coast and competes with Fenix for the same trans-Pacific ocean-carrier calls across the San Pedro Bay port complex.
• International Transportation Service (ITS): ITS operates a dedicated container terminal at Pier T in the Port of Long Beach serving primarily ONE (Ocean Network Express) and other alliance carriers. Direct competitor for ocean-carrier container handling and on-dock rail volumes in the same regional gateway.
• Long Beach Container Terminal (LBCT): LBCT is a fully automated container terminal at the Port of Long Beach operated as a public-private partnership. It directly competes with Fenix for trans-Pacific container volumes and represents a high-tech operational benchmark for automation in the same market.
• Yusen Terminals Inc. Yusen Terminals operates a container terminal at Berth 309-310 in the Port of Los Angeles, directly adjacent to Fenix in the same port complex. A direct peer for vessel calls from NYK Line and other Japanese carrier alliances, with similar ocean-carrier GTM.
• TraPac (Mitsui O.S.K. Lines): TraPac operates automated container terminals at the Port of Los Angeles (Pier 400) and the Port of Oakland. Direct West Coast container terminal operator serving ocean-carrier customers, with comparable transaction-fee revenue model and intermodal exposure.

Broad incumbents

• Ports America: Ports America is one of the largest US terminal operators, managing marine terminals across multiple ports. Comparable to Fenix as a diversified container/marine terminal operator with US footprint, though broader in scope than Fenix's single LA asset.

Regional players

• Pacific Container Terminal (PCT): While PCT itself sits inside the APM Terminals complex, the broader West Coast container terminal ecosystem (PCT, Piers 300-306, TraPac, LBCT, ITS) functions as a regional peer cluster. Comparable in serving trans-Pacific ocean-carrier calls from San Pedro Bay to Bay Area.

Emerging players

• Hapag-Lloyd USA Terminal Operations: Hapag-Lloyd, as a major ocean carrier, has historically held stakes in or operated terminal assets (e.g., joint US West Coast terminals). Comparable as a carrier-aligned terminal operator counterpart to Fenix's CMA CGM/APL relationship, and a candidate counterparty or competing investor in similar concession assets.
