MSC’s planned newbuilding orders will bring its overall fleet to 7.5m TEU by the
end of 2028 as it continues to widen the gap with their main rivals. The latest
MSC orders is expected to include 10 units of 21,000 teu at Hantong, as well as
a series of 12,000 teu units at Rongsheng and 11,000 teu units at Penglai Jinglu
to be delivered from 2027. Although CMA CGM’s new vessel delivery pipeline will
allow it to surpass Maersk by 2027, it will still trail MSC by more than 2m teu
by the end of 2028
