The capacity gap between the world’s two biggest liner operators narrowed further this year, according to Alphaliner.
AP Moller-Maersk s fleet shrunk in 2020, while Mediterranean Shipping Co (MSC) s expanded by a modest 2.4% over the year, narrowing the gap between the liner operators to just 251,000 teu.
However, Geneva-based MSC has 10 ships on order totalling 179,280 teu, compared with Maersk’s tally of 21 smaller units of 54,558 teu.
Alphaliner’s annual ranking of the top-12 global liner operators still lists Maersk as the largest carrier by capacity.
But the Danish giant s fleet declined by 2%, or 85,814 teu, to 4.1m teu.
