MPC Container Ships

In 2017, with substantial support from Münchmeyer Petersen & Co., MPC Capital AG established MPC Container Ships. The company specializes in owning and operating smaller container ships for regional and interregional freight routes.

In the years following its establishment, the company successfully raised significant financial resources: approximately USD 475 million in equity and an additional USD 200 million through the issuance of bonds to international institutional investors, which were used to expand the fleet.

In nearly seven years since its inception, MPC Container Ships has become one of the leading companies in the container shipping industry. The company is now listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange and owns one of the largest feeder fleets worldwide. Feeder fleets consist of smaller container ships used in container shipping to transport freight containers between smaller ports and larger hub ports.

Since its inception, MPC Container Ships has generated a remarkable average annual return on capital of 27.5% for Münchmeyer Petersen & Co. and its shareholders. This is the result of successful and forward-looking business development based on concentrated expertise, entrepreneurial courage, and creativity. In December 2024, a successful exit was achieved with the sale of MPC Capital's shares to an investor from the maritime sector.
