MSC rules out IPO or acquisitions

摘要

Organic growth will remain the cornerstone of Mediterranean Shipping Co's strategy for its container business, while the Aponte family also plans to keep a firm grip on the group and dismisses the need for outside investors. In contrast to the other top four containership operators, MSC has never engaged in merger or acquisition activity to grow capacity. It has reached number two in the world in terms of fleet size, just behind Maersk, purely through organic growth. That will continue, MSC Group president and chief executive Diego Aponte confirmed.
