MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company) is an independent and family-owned company.
Founded in 1970 by Captain Gianluigi Aponte, the company remains privately held. While Captain Gianluigi Aponte serves as the Group Chairman, his son, Diego Aponte, holds the position of Group President and effectively leads the company's operations. This makes MSC a family-run business, not publicly traded or owned by a larger corporation.
