MSC poised to maintain dominance as the leading carrier until 2026

MSC is set to significantly expand its fleet size, reinforcing its status as the world's largest carrier.

Forecasts indicate that MSC's fleet expansion will strengthen its lead over CMA CGM, positioning the latter as the second-largest carrier and pushing Maersk down to third place.

Hapag-Lloyd has unveiled its 2030 strategy, aiming to maintain its position among the top five carriers. However, achieving this goal may require strategic adjustments to avoid slipping to sixth place, trailing behind ONE.

The maritime industry anticipates notable changes in carrier rankings as MSC's fleet grows and Hapag-Lloyd refines its strategic approach.
