🏅 Maritime Analytica Insight: SITC’s margin expansion outpaces most global carriers. Unlike ocean majors struggling with overcapacity, SITC thrives on regional specialization.
3️⃣ Is SITC buying more ships?
Absolutely.
Recently ordered four 2,700-TEU containership for US$152M
Two more vessels under construction, deliveries by mid-2028
Prioritized small and mid-sized vessels (<3,000 TEU) — 95 of 119 vessels already in this range.
💡 Strategy: Serve high-frequency intra-Asia loops where mega-ships don’t fit.
