Unifeeder triples intra-Med market share

DP World’s subsidiary Unifeeder achieved significant growth in the intra-Mediterranean trade sector in 2024, tripling its market share to 4.3%.

According to global shipping industry analysts, Alphaliner, Unifeeder recorded the highest capacity growth of all carriers in the region, positioning it among the top six operators in the Mediterranean by deployed capacity.

Unifeeder’s fleet in the Mediterranean now includes 20 container ships with a total capacity of 24,000 TEUs, bringing it on par with Chinese shipping giant COSCO SHIPPING Lines in the region. Over the past twelve months, Unifeeder has launched seven new intra-Mediterranean services, adding 10,600 TEU of capacity and increasing its average vessel size to 1,186 TEUs.

Later this month, Unifeeder will expand its services in the Black Sea, further strengthening its regional presence, according to its mother company DP World.
