MSC CEO Søren Toft highlights stronger growth despite global uncertainty

MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company has recorded stronger growth since the spring of 2026, particularly on trades originating in Asia, according to CEO Søren Toft, who outlined the carrier’s performance, ongoing investments and operational challenges as the year approaches its end.

In a business update shared on LinkedIn following the third quarter, Toft described 2026 as a year marked by contrasting market conditions, with a more moderate start followed by stronger activity.

“It’s been a year of two halves. After a more moderate start to the year, we have seen strong growth since the spring, particularly out of Asia,” said Søren Toft, CEO of MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company.

The update comes as MSC continues expanding its global shipping network, vessel capacity and logistics operations, while navigating geopolitical uncertainty and persistent congestion at major ports.
