Mediterranean Shipping Company (AUST) PTY LIMITED Information

MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, S.A. of Geneva, Switzerland is a privately-owned shipping line, founded in 1970, which has rapidly grown from a small conventional ship operator to become one of the leading maritime transport groups in the world. During recent years MSC's maritime fleet has expanded substantially to consolidate its position as the second largest carrier in respect of container slot capacity and number of container vessels operated. Such spectacular growth has been achieved internally through organic growth rather than through acquisitions or mergers. MSC provides an unparalleled service network via dedicated own agency 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 focussed and cost effective global transportation solution for many shippers. Complementing the core business of container vessels and containers, MSC has now become a significant player in container terminals. Currently MSC has investments in key transhipment hubs around the world and many more joint venture container terminal operations are planned in the future.
