Mr Lars Jensen - As a "fun
fact" I went back and found a list of the 20 largest container shipping
lines in 1980 to see how many were left now 40 years later.
It
depends a bit on how you count. Strictly speaking there are 5 lines left out of the top-20 in 1980. Listed in the
order of their size in 1980 they are: Hapag Lloyd, Maersk, Evergreen, Zim and
Yangming.
Additionally
there are 5 brand names left, but they are now
owned by other lines: Sealand (owned by Maersk, and only recently
"revived" as a brand name), CGM (acquired by CMA and became CMA CGM
in 1996), APL (now part of CMA CGM), OOCL (now part of COSCO) and ACL (now part
of Grimaldi).
And
then of course there was Safmarine but they will now
disappear. Some have disappeared altogether: OCL, Nedlloyd, USL, BBS, Seatrain and ACT. And finally NYK, MOL and K-Line have disappeared as
container brand name and been replaced by the combined entity ONE.
Incidentally
these 20 largest lines controlled 40% of the global capacity 40 years ago. The
20 largest lines today control 93%.
