🔥COSCO Takes Lead; Maersk Closes Gap

• August leaders: COSCO $34.0B, Maersk $33.9B, Hapag-Lloyd $24.6B.

• HMM doubles since 2023; Evergreen slips from May rebound.

• Cycle peak 2022 evaporates; Hapag-Lloyd down seventy percent.

• Yang Ming softens; ZIM dips from May, smallest by far.

• 🏅Maritime Analytica: “Capital prefers integrated scale and policy-backed resilience. Expect COSCO–Maersk valuation duel, Korea’s HMM momentum, and Taiwanese corrections. Hedge rate volatility; overweight logistics adjacencies and efficiency tech winners through 2026 selectively.i

🔥Maersk & CMA CGM Lead Q2 Battle

• Maersk $13.1B revenue, highest sea volume: 6.5M TEU.

• CMA CGM top earner: $13.2B, highest freight rates $1,368/TEU.

• ZIM margins lead at 29%, despite only $1.6B revenue.

• Hapag-Lloyd stable: $5.3B revenue, $1,324/TEU freight rate.

• 🏅Maritime Analytica: “Pricing power shifts toward niche carriers with better yield management like ZIM. Expect Maersk, CMA CGM to dominate scale, but margin-driven players will shape 2025 freight strategies.”

---

🔥Freight Rates Collapse as Volumes Hold

• Maersk Q2 volume stable at ~6.5M TEU; freight down sharply.

• CMA CGM freight declines; volumes resilient around 6M TEU.

• Hapag-Lloyd volumes rise, but pricing remains under pressure.

• Carriers balance capacity; spot rates face structural headwinds.

• 🏅Maritime Analytica: “Despite steady TEU volumes, falling freight rates threaten margins. Expect intensified blank sailings, capacity resets, and aggressive contract renegotiations as carriers defend profitability into 2026.”

---

---

🔥MSC Dominates Global Capacity Leadership

• MSC leads with 6.8M TEU, 933 ships, holding 20.8% share.

• Maersk ranks second: 4.6M TEU, 744 ships, 14.1% global share.

• CMA CGM & COSCO compete closely: 4.0M vs. 3.5M TEU capacity.

• HMM, ZIM, Yang Ming gain ground but remain niche players.

• 🏅Maritime Analytica: “Scale drives dominance, but MSC’s aggressive fleet expansion signals looming overcapacity. Expect freight volatility, intensified alliances, and contract battles shaping the container shipping landscape through 2026.”

---

🔥Profits Collapse Despite Steady Revenues

• Maersk revenue Q2’25 ~$13B; profits fell below $1B.

• CMA CGM tracks similar trend, steep margin contraction since 2022.

• Hapag-Lloyd’s profits near breakeven; recovery remains uncertain.

• Industry shifts from peak gains to survival strategies.

• 🏅Maritime Analytica:”Earnings erosion signals the end of pandemic-era super profits. Expect cost optimization, asset redeployment, and vertical integration strategies as carriers brace for a margin-compression cycle into 2026.”
