"MSC appears to be doubling-down on a strategy of building market share on the transatlantic trade with a large-scale capacity injection on its strings between North Europe and North America.
The capacity addition largely comes via the introduction of its standalone round-the-world Albatross services to the US east coast, deploying 17 ships of 13,000 to 16,000 teu.
This is in a similar fashion to the way that it introduced much larger vessels on the Mediterranean-US east coast trade on the Dragon/MD4 round-the-world loop it operates with the Premier Alliance.
