Maersk could drop from top four in global liner rankings by 2028
Maersk risks slipping from first to fourth in global liner rankings over the next six years as CMA CGM and COSCO expand faster. After giving up the top spot to MSC in early 2022, Maersk faces pressure from COSCO’s large newbuilding program and CMA CGM’s rising orderbook, while Maersk’s own growth has been slower since 2018.
