MSC G\u00fcls\u00fcn at Shanghai<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

MSC has become the first container shipping line to command a global liner market share of more than 20%, on the back of an extraordinary fleet expansion programme, in place since the pandemic.<\/p>\n

According to new analysis from Alphaliner, by the end of May, the world\u2019s largest shipping line operated 21.5% of all capacity on the water, after seeing its fleet size effectively double over the past 15 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo carrier has ever achieved such a quota, with the only other to come close, Maersk, achieving 19.3% of the market in 2018,\u201d Alphaliner writes today.<\/p>\n

\u201cGeneva-based MSC continues to eat into the market share of other lines, and it was the only top-ten carrier to reach a high in its market share this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world\u2019s largest container carrier has effectively doubled its market share since 2010,\u201d it adds.<\/p>\n

\"\u041c\u0421\u041a\"<\/a>\n

\u0418\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0447\u043d\u0438\u043a: Alphaliner<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

MSC\u2019s recent strategy has stood in stark contrast to that of second-ranked Maersk, which for the past couple of years has signalled that its global fleet capacity of around 4.2m teu had hit a self-imposed ceiling.<\/p>\n

However, Alphaliner also notes that this means Maersk\u2019s market share today is at its lowest for 20 years, at 13.7% of globally operated capacity \u2013 \u201cthe lowest point since the Danish group bought P&O Nedlloyd in 2005\u2033.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaersk\u2019s deliberate decision to cap its fleet at 4.1m teu-4.3m teu from early 2024, combined with the relentless growth in the overall container fleet, has condemned the company to a falling market share.<\/p>\n

The analyst noted: \u201cThe Danish carrier said it would prioritise decarbonised fleet replacement and integrated logistics to achieve its strategic and financial objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, according to Alahaliner, Maersk\u2019s operated capacity stands at just under 4.7m teu, with 1.84m teu of that being chartered; MSC\u2019s overall capacity is just under 7.4m teu.<\/p>\n

Third-placed CMA CGM, which operates 4.3m teu of capacity, also saw its market share decline marginally, from a high of 12.9% in 2023 to 12.5% today.<\/p>\n

However, the ten largest container lines have consolidated their grip on the global liner trades, and their combined operating capacity \u00a0is within touching distance of the previous record, of controlling 84.8% of capacity, achieved in January 2021 \u2013 in the depths of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cNearly 500,000 teu in newbuilding tonnage was handed over to the top ten carriers in the December-April (2026) period. This tonnage injection has pushed the carriers\u2019 fleet capacity to 84.7% of the total market at end May, just 0.1% shy of the record,\u201d Alphaliner writes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rise was mainly driven by capacity increases for MSC, CMA CGM, and Ocean Network Express (ONE).\u201d<\/p>\n
