The A.P. Moller-Maersk operated fleet, is to break the 2 million TEU mark at the end of April 2008, according to figures compiled by Alphaliner. APM-M has thus doubled its fleet since it passed the one million TEU mark in December 2004.

After some difficult times during which it saw its global market share recede from 18.2% to 16.0% in the wake of the purchase of Royal P&O Nedlloyd.

APM-Maersk is now bouncing back. During the first four months of 2008, its operated fleet grew by 6.3%, which is the best growth rate achieved among the top 5 carriers, as illustrated by the below table.

APM-Maersk to break the 2 million TEU mark

This fleet growth allowed Maersk to regain market share, growing from just over 16.0% to 16.3% during the first four months of 2008.However, since the recent wave of deliveries came to an end in April, the carrier’s share is now expected to stagnate for a few months. It may even slide back again, unless high cargo volumes prompt the line to charter in additional ships. Maersk’s remarkable comeback can be explained by a change in management and strategy as well as massive deliveries of new buildings. During the first four months of 2008, no less than 20 new buildings-owned or long term chartered- have joined the Maersk Line and Safmarine fleet, for a total capacity of 113,000 TEU. Furthermore, Maersk has ceased to release or to sublet ships, except for a trio of 5,500 TEU units to be released in mid-2008, for which the charters were not renewed. To the contrary, it is to recover at the end of April, the 4,546 TEU HIJAZ (ex MAERSK DIADEMA – alias VIKTORIA WULFF), which has been sublet to UASC for the past 18 months.

Maersk has also been active again on the charter market, although exclusively for ships under 2,100 TEU. During the first four months of 2008, the carrier has either chartered in or extended some 40 ships. It has also extended some ten options at advantageous rates, half of them in the 2,500-4,500 TEU range. However, the line has been inactive on the ordering side for a while, although in this respect, it is far from alone. Carriers are obviously taking a breath after last year’s hectic ordering activity, with a total of 3.6 MTEU ordered for a contractual value of USD 53 bn, according to Alphaliner figures.

Credit tightening and a bearish economic outlook presently weigh on the ordering decision process. Hardly 350,000 TEU have been ordered since 1st January.With a declared order book reaching only 340,000 TEU (end April), APM-Maersk is not in a position to maintain its market share over 16% in the medium term (2009-2011), unless a vigorous chartering activity helps to keep the pace at which rivals MSC and CMA CGM are to grow, with unrivalled order books hovering around the 600,000 TEU figure for each of them. However, perhaps APM-Maersk has hidden plans, especially as the Odense shipyard is under loaded for the years 2009 and beyond.
