🔥Greetings Maritime Mavericks,
Most shipping cycles start loudly.
This one didn’t.
No big announcements.
No flashy press releases.
Just ships quietly changing hands.
And one name keeps appearing.
MSC - Mediterranean Shipping Company.
While much of the industry talks about Suez, overcapacity, and “what happens next,” MSC is doing something far more practical:
It is buying ships that already exist — and can sail now.This is the real story behind today’s red-hot secondhand containership market.

Let’s walk through it.
🔒Act 1: A market where nobody wants to sell
Normally, strong earnings encourage owners to cash out.
This time, the opposite is happening.
Charter rates are high.
Vintage ships are still making money.
Scrapping is delayed.
So, owners are not selling — unless the price is right.
That single fact explains everything else.
When supply refuses to come to market, values stay firm, even for 15–18-year-old ships.
💡And if you need tonnage quickly? You pay a premium.
