Only Ocean Network Express (ONE) saw a higher growth rate during that period at 5.9%, but MSC outstripped others for the most new capacity, adding some 365,173 TEUs to its fleet, Alphaliner said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">The additional capacity, a combination of newbuild deliveries and acquisitions of second-hand ships, brings MSC\u2019s total fleet to over 6.6 million TEUs, Alphaliner said. It added that MSC\u2019s \u201crelentless pursuit of capacity\u201d has widened the gap with its former 2M partner Maersk, which added 170,371 TEUs during the first half of 2025 and brought its capacity to 4.5 million TEUs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u201cTo put this into perspective, this gap [between MSC and Maersk] is equal to the entire fleet of ONE,\u201d Alphaliner said, adding MSC is expected to take delivery of another 380,000 TEUs of newbuild capacity during the second half of 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Alphaliner said Maersk\u2019s goal is not to enlarge its fleet as much as it aims to replace older vessels and make its network more efficient. It added that CMA CGM, which has the second-largest order book of new ships at 1.5 million TEUs, is \u201cset to overtake Maersk in the coming years\u201d in terms of fleet size.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Source:\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/www.joc.com\/article\/msc-outstripping-rivals-on-new-capacity-for-2025-alphaliner-6040898\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joc.com\/article\/msc-outstripping-rivals-on-new-capacity-for-2025-alphaliner-6040898\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"2\">Journal of Commerce<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mediterranean Shipping Co. widened its already leading market share among ocean carriers as its fleet added the most ships in the first half of 2025, according to Alphaliner.
