85% of the Market Overlooked: A Golden Opportunity for Businesses in the Maritime Industry
Many Believe the Global Shipping Industry Is Dominated by a Handful of Giants – But That’s Only Part of the Picture This perception may hold true in the standardized container shipping segment, but it doesn’t fully reflect the broader landscape of the global maritime industry. Common Misconception: Big Players Always Reign Supreme!? In container shipping, the top 10 companies control around 85% of global capacity. However, beyond this segment, the rest of the maritime industry is highly fragmented, diverse, and primarily operated by micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). Since there is no industry-wide standard definition of MSMEs in shipping, we can use the following general criteria: Fleet size under 50 vessels Operations focused on local or regional markets Provide specialized services (rather than global shipping chains) Lean, flexible organization—often family-run or privately owned This is a crucial insight for tech startup founders, investors, and logistics professionals who aim to drive innovation in the sector. In Particular: The Dry Bulk Shipping Industry The dry bulk segment—which transports commodities like coal, grain, and ore—is even more fragmented. The top 10 dry bulk carriers account for less than 15% of the global dry bulk fleet. Some examples: Oldendorff Carriers GmbH & Co. KG – 700 vessels Pacific Basin Shipping Limited – 266 vessels Ultrabulk A/S – 190 vessels (Others include: Star Bulk, Western Bulk, Navios, Fednav, etc.) In total, these top 10 companies own around 1,911 vessels, compared to tens of thousands of dry bulk ships currently in operation. Ship Management: Even More Fragmented In the ship management sector, the top 10 companies—such as: Anglo-Eastern (1,070 ships) V.Group (923 ships) OSM Thome (868 ships) Synergy Marine Group (663 ships) Fleet Management Ltd (660 ships) … collectively manage just over 6,000 vessels. With around 50,000 commercial ships active globally, these top players only
Message from HTK on the Occasion of the International Day of the Seafarer – June 25, 2025
To: All Officers and Crew Members of HTK Fleet On the occasion of the International Day of the Seafarer, June 25, 2025, on behalf of the Board of Directors of HTK Shipping and Import Export Co., Ltd., I would like to extend my sincere wishes for health, safety, and success to all officers and crew members currently serving on board our fleet. The year 2025 continues to be a challenging one for the global maritime industry, as uncertainties such as trade policies and geopolitical conflicts significantly impact the shipping market. In this context, HTK’s fleet remains resilient, maintaining stable operations and contributing meaningfully to the Company’s overall performance. This achievement is inseparable from the responsibility, perseverance, and tireless efforts of our seafarers. You are not only the ones who sail the ships through storms, but also the guardians of HTK’s values, reputation, and trust built with clients and partners worldwide. The Board sincerely acknowledges and deeply appreciates your invaluable contributions. This year, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has chosen the theme: “Seafarers’ Day 2025 – My Ship, My Safe Space: Navigating Without Violence or Harassment” — a powerful message highlighting the importance of creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive onboard environment. HTK is firmly committed to safeguarding the dignity and rights of all seafarers and takes a zero-tolerance approach to any form of violence or harassment. I hope every HTK ship will always be a “second home” — a place of unity, support, companionship, and growth for every officer and crew member. Let us build a positive onboard culture where all members are heard, respected, empowered to learn, work, and grow together. Once again, I wish all officers and crew members and your families good health, peace, and happiness. May the entire HTK fleet always enjoy safe and efficient voyages!
