MSC Worldwide

MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, S.A. of Geneva, Switzerland is a privately owned shipping line, founded in 1970, which has grown rapidly to become one of the leading global shipping lines of the world.

During recent years MSC's maritime fleet has expanded substantially to reach in 2002 the rank of the second largest carrier in respect of container slot capacity and of the number of container vessels operated. Such spectacular growth has been achieved internally and not through acquisition or merger.

MSC provides an unparalleled service network via dedicated own offices throughout the world and remains a truly independent and private Company able to respond quickly to market changes and implement long term plans, without unnecessary interference or delay.

With a streamlined management structure in Geneva, MSC has become a leading customer focused and cost effective global transportation solution for many shippers.

 

In addition MSC operates a separate Cruise company, MSC Crociere, (MSC Cruises), operating cruise vessels, primarily in the Mediterranean and Caribbean.Again from a very modest start there has been rapid growth to achieve the current capacity and further significant investment in this sector is envisaged and planned in the short term, through both firm orders placed for new tonnage and selective purchases in the second hand market to augment current berth capacity on offer.
