Container shipping lines report record profits in the third quarter of 2021
Container freight rates increase to a record in a long time
All global ocean carriers saw strong revenue growth driven by record high freight rates, with year-on-year revenue growth from 83.9% for Maersk to 274.1% for Wan Hai, according to data from Sea-Intelligence.
In terms of earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), shipping lines posted a whopping $37.24 billion in operating profit in the third quarter of 2021 alone, according to Sea-Intelligence.
Sea-Intelligence CEO Alan Murphy said: “Combine this with the 2021 first half operating profit of 42.10 billion, and the carriers have made nearly US$80 billion in operating profit so far this year.”
This does not include MSC, the world's second largest shipping line today, whose business type is a private company that is not required to disclose its accounts.
"To put this into perspective, the combined 2010-2020 operating profit across all quarters was US$37.86 billion," added Murphy.
To sum up, the shipping industry's operating profit for the first three quarters of 2021 has doubled compared to the entire 10-year period from 2010-2020, showing an unprecedented level of profitability.

Current supply/demand and freight market developments are evident in the figure above, with each carrier's Q3 2021 EBIT/TEU numbers being a stark departure from the "historical" figures.
The smallest EBIT/TEU recorded by Maersk was 818 USD/TEU, while the rest of the carriers recorded EBIT/TEU over 1,000 USD/TEU, ZIM recorded EBIT/TEU at 2,100 USD/TEU, according to Sea- Intelligence .
This further clarifies that the sharp increase in freight rates has resulted in extremely high EBIT performance for all shipping lines.
