cent, equivalent to the combined Asian participation.
It is also worth noting here that about half of the ships
operated by the shipping lines are chartered-in, that is,
the owners do not operate their container ships. Many
of these owners are based in Germany. Moreover, the ships owned by the operators themselves tend to be
larger than the charter-owner fleet. In particular, ships
of 8,000 TEU and above are twice as often owned
by liner companies such as Maersk, MSC and CMG
CGM than by the charter-owners.
