The acquisition of Icelandic carrier Samskip\u2019s UK-continental Europe container shipping services by ro-ro and multimodal operator CLdN has halved the seller\u2019s intra-North Europe market share.<\/p>\n

According to new analysis from Alphaliner, the June transaction meant Luxembourg-based CLdN, which moved its shipping operations HQ to London in May, \u201cmade the biggest jump in the league of North Europe\u2019s largest operators\u201d over the past year.<\/p>\n

\u201cFuelled by the acquisition of Samskip\u2019s Northwest Continent-UK business, CLdN climbed four positions, propelling it from 17th to 13th.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a consequence, Samskip\u2019s own capacity nearly halved, down 40% from 9,600 teu to 5,800 teu, and its rank fell from 7th to 14th \u2013 the steepest drop of any operator,\u201d Alphaliner writes today.<\/p>\n

Operated container capacity at CLdN \u2013 its con-ro vessels can carry containers on deck \u2013 jumped from 2,750 teu in July 2025 to 6,300 teu today, and said the purchase \u201caligned with CLdN\u2019s strategy of providing complementary ro-ro services for mixed cargo and lo-lo services specifically for containers\u201d.<\/p>\n

It added: \u201cThese services carry out more than 1,000 port calls every year, transporting cargo for a broad customer base, including blue-chip consumer goods manufacturers\u2026 and the transfer of the lease agreements for more than 5,000 multimodal cargo units.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the past 12 months, total capacity on the intra-North Europe trade grew 20,000 teu, representing a year-on-year increase of 6.8%, with 243 vessels with an average capacity of 1,294 teu deployed, compared with 235 averaging 1,253 teu a year earlier.<\/p>\n

In terms of the ten biggest carriers, Maersk saw the largest growth rate, its offering to market now 50,800 teu, compared with 39,800 teu this time last year.<\/p>\n

Its intra-North Europe market share thus increased from 13.5% to 16.2%, while market leader MSC\u2019s marginally contracted, from 21.3% to 21.2%, its capacity increasing 4,000 teu during the period \u2013 this represented a 6.2% increase, slightly below the market average.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaersk\u2019s disproportionately high growth in capacity and market share again stems from the \u2018hub and spoke\u2019 concept that the carrier implemented last year with its Gemini partner Hapag-Lloyd,\u201d Alphaliner writes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts newest additions are two Maersk-operated Baltic feeder services connecting Germany with Poland, with a total of four ships of between 2,100 and 4,800 teu accounting for 14,300 teu of extra capacity,\u201d it adds.<\/p>\n

One of these is Maersk\u2019s eco-flagship, the 2,100 teu methanol-powered Laura Maersk<\/em> (pictured above).<\/p>\n

Third-placed DP World Shipping Services \u2013 operating as Unifeeder until earlier this year \u2013 saw its market share decline, from 12.2% to 11%, with the reduction of two vessels, while CMA CGM also saw declines in both capacity and market share, the former down 14.4%, to 30,200 teu, while market share \u201cslipped from 12% to 9.6%, leaving it in fourth spot\u201d, according to Alphaliner.<\/p>\n

While it continues to operate six standalone North Europe feeder services, the French carrier appears to have plugged the gap with a series of slot-charter agreements with non-mainline feeder operators \u2013 according to Xeneta\u2019s eeSea liner database, CMA CGM is a slot charterer on eight BG Freight Line strings between continental Europe and the UK and Ireland, as well as EUCON\u2019s Antwerp-Belfast shuttle.<\/p>\n

According to eeSea, 20% of the slots are estimated to be reserved for the French carrier on the 1,400 teu BG Orange<\/em>, which last week was hit by the multipurpose Wind Orca <\/em>while alongside the quay in the UK port of Tyne.<\/p>\n

The force of the collision prompted a quay crane to collapse onto the deck of the BG Orange<\/em>, and salvage operations are currently under way.<\/p>\n

The vessel is deployed on the Peel Ports-owned carrier\u2019s Butterfly 1 service (marketed as ECUK56 by CMA CGM), which has a triangular port rotation of Rotterdam-Tyne-London Gateway.<\/p>\n
