Description: MPCC MPC Container Ships ASA

MPC Container Ships ASA (MPCC) is a Norway-based marine transportation company that owns and operates a fleet of small- to mid-size container vessels serving trade routes across Intra-Asia, South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The company generates revenue primarily by chartering its vessels out to global liner shipping companies and regional carriers under time-charter agreements, while also buying, operating, and selling ships as part of its asset-light investment strategy.

As of December 31, 2025, MPCC operated a fleet of 51 vessels with an aggregate capacity of approximately 129,192 TEU. Container vessel capacity is measured in TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units), the industry-standard unit for container ship size and trade volume. The company was incorporated in 2017 and is headquartered in Oslo.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Container charter rates remain depressed on soft global trade demand
  • Fleet renewal drives vessel sales gains and capacity optimization
