⚓Get a glimpse of the world's largest container liner Container liners play an important role in global trade and connect the market through a huge network of ships. The biggest liner includes the following: 1. Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC): The world leader, based in Switzerland, with over 5.7 million TEUs. 2. Maersk: A Danish giant and long-time industry leader, controlling over 4.1 million TEUs. 3. CMA CGM: French aircraft carrier and major player in the Maritime Alliance. 4. COSCO: A Chinese power plant, which is part of the maritime alliance with significant shipping abilities. These companies are the essential part of the global supply chain.

LOGISTICS NEWS!! Global Shipping Lines Extend Vessel-Sharing Agreement Four Asian and European container lines are extending their vessel-sharing agreement as rival carriers reset their alliances in a market beset by plentiful capacity and low freight rates. China’s Cosco Shipping, CMA CGM of France, Taiwan’s Evergreen Marine and Hong Kong-based Orient Overseas Container Line, a unit of COSCO, agreed to continue sharing ship capacity through 2032 under the Ocean Alliance pact they formed in 2017. Carriers say the shipping alliances allow them to offer broader geographic coverage while bringing costs down, and the companies said Tuesday that the deal extension will ensure they can continue to provide steady service. Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd said a pool of around 290 vessels will be used in the collaboration, offering a combined capacity of 3.4 million containers, measured in 20-foot equivalents, with Maersk deploying 60% of the ships and Hapag-Lloyd 40%. Adding to complexities, recent attacks on merchant vessels in the Red Sea have forced shipping lines to divert their vessels by thousands of miles, which has increased fuel costs and sent freight rates higher. #redseacrisis #logistics #supplychain #shippingcontainers #shippinglines #COSCO #EVERGREEN #OOCL #maersk #WSJ

The global container shipping landscape is set for a significant shake-up in 2025! 🚢 As alliances dissolve and new ones emerge, the industry will see a reconfiguration of market power and trade routes.

The Asian container shipping companies ONE, HMM, and Yang Ming are extending their collaboration by five years, starting from February 2025, and will operate under the new name "Premier Alliance." At that time, their partnership with Hapag-Lloyd will also end, as Hapag-Lloyd will form a new alliance with Maersk called the "Gemini Cooperation." Additionally, Premier Alliance will exchange slots with MSC on Asia-Europe routes, though MSC will continue to operate independently and will not become a full alliance member.   The partnership includes nine Asia-Europe services, with MSC sailing through both the Suez Canal and around the Cape of Good Hope. MSC has also unveiled its new service schedule for the period following the end of its 2M alliance with Maersk.   Although there was uncertainty about the future of shipping alliances after the EU’s block exemption for container shipping was lifted in 2024, alliances are set to continue. For example, the Ocean Alliance, which includes CMA CGM, Cosco, OOCL, and Evergreen, recently extended their partnership until 2032. #carriers #logistics #jordexglobal
