About Us

MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) is a global leader in transportation and logistics, privately owned and founded in 1970 by Gianluigi Aponte. The company has evolved from a one vessel operation into a globally respected business with a 800-vessel fleet and over 200,000 staff providing timely delivery of goods and services to customers of all industries and sizes.
Present in 155 countries through 675 offices, MSC calls at 520 ports on 300 trade routes, carrying some 22.5 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) annually. MSC’s activities now include air and overland transportation, logistics and a growing portfolio of port terminal investments.

In Thailand, MSC opened its first branch in Bangkok in February 2001, and we have been doing business in the country for several years prior to that with the help of a third-party agent. MSC also subsequently set up offices in Songkhla (Southern Thailand) and a vessel operations office in Laem Chabang port (Eastern Thailand). In November 2019, MSC upgraded the Laem Chabang branch to a bigger office in order to provide a broader range of commercial services.
