Global shipping giant Maersk has achieved a remarkable breakthrough in the Nordic market. According to the latest report from the shipping analysis firm Alphaliner, the Danish shipping company has quadrupled its capacity and market share on routes within the Nordic region.

While other shipping companies are experiencing growth stagnation, Maersk has successfully surpassed them through a differentiated strategy. Its market share in the Nordic region has surged from 3.7% to 13.5%, with a capacity of 40,000 TEUs. This has elevated its annual ranking by five positions, now trailing only Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) in second place.

Alphaliner points out that Maersk's explosive growth is mainly attributed to the "twin star" alliance formed with Hapag-Lloyd. By implementing a "hub-and-spoke" transport network, an additional capacity of 30,000 TEUs has been efficiently deployed in the Nordic feeder market.

Data indicates that the total container shipping capacity in the Nordic region has increased by 17% year-on-year, with 235 operational vessels. In the current competitive landscape, Unifeeder, a subsidiary of DP World based in Dubai, holds a 12.2% market share, ranking third.
