The MSC Group

The MSC Group

The MSC Group began its journey in 1970 in Brussels, where Captain Gianluigi Aponte established the Group’s first subsidiary, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company. With shipping and containerization becoming more prominent on a global scale, Captain Aponte built what is now a globally recognized shipping and transportation company. Made up of a range of companies, the Group continues to grow across various industries, connecting global travellers and developing infrastructure that strengthens trade opportunities.
