THE global
container fleet's capacity has swelled to 20 million TEU, with the biggest
shipowner being Denmark's might Maersk Line.
Maersk has with three
million TEU of the world's capacity (15 per cent). This year new vessel capacity ordered
exceeded the number of annual contracts placed over the last seven years.
If the
proposed merger between Cosco and China Shipping occurs,
this could change fleet owner rankings, with both Chinese carriers moving up to
fourth place, behind the world's top three, reports London's Port Technology
International.
One of the
highlights of the growth in the global fleet is a total of 1.2 million TEU of shipping
capacity being added this year alone, owing to the delivery of 152 new vessels.
Over the next
few years, the total cellular capacity of the world fleet is set to rise even
further as a number of ocean liners take delivery of more mega-ships with capacities
ranging from 19,000 to 20,000 TEU.
