Good to know

Maersk, in a few facts

  • Held the world's-largest-line title for a quarter of a century before MSC overtook it in 2022.
  • Launched the Gemini Cooperation with Hapag-Lloyd in 2025 — a hub-and-spoke network built around schedule reliability above 90%.
  • Its Triple-E class made fuel efficiency, not speed, the design goal of every giant that followed.
