2 MSC GROUP A SHIPPING CONGLOMERATE A world leader in global container shipping A leader in luxury cruise travel Mediterranean passenger ferries A leading terminal investor The MSC Group was founded in 1970 by Captain Gianluigi Aponte in Brussels, Belgium. Captain Aponte started the company with one small conventional ship, the MV Patricia. As containerisation took place and the globalisation of the world economy evolved, MSC grew to become a leader in global container shipping. Alongside the success of the container shipping division, the Aponte family sought to diversify the Group into passenger ferries, terminal investments and a highly successful cruise company. Today, the Group employs more than 60,000 people in over 150 countries across the globe. The Group remains privately owned and operated by the Aponte family, from their headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. 2 3

3 A FAMILY COMPANY In a competitive marketplace, at a period of significant global change and transition, MSC Group is proud to be a truly unique world leader in transportation. Ours is a business built on a genuine passion for the sea, on undeniable nautical heritage, and on an unfaltering commitment to people and communities. Capt. Gianluigi Aponte Group Executive Chairman Today, recognised and respected as a global leader in container shipping, we are pleased to acknowledge the roots which set us apart, and which mean that our story has evolved from transporting foot passengers in beautiful Naples, to becoming a single vessel cargo operation, to growing into a 460 vessel business with 60,000 staff. Our impressive growth has seen MSC strategically and successfully manoeuvre into an increased portfolio of transportation solutions, not only at sea, but in rail, road and terminal infrastructure. The MSC name, which our customers have come to know today, is one which spans a world leading position as a cargo carrier, receives respected acknowledgment as a terminal investor in some of the world s busiest ports, is operator of award-winning luxury cruises, and is the provider of numerous passenger ferries. Mr Diego Aponte Group President & CEO People, naturally, remain at the heart of our business. Where care of our foot passengers was of the utmost priority decades ago in our company s humble beginnings, today, the same care and personal emphasis is intrinsic in everything we do. It is embedded in the way we nurture our staff and their careers on land and at sea and in the way we relate uniquely to every one of our individual or business customers. MSC s dedicated team of employees, in offices throughout the world, are always happy to share with you more information about our very unique story and our exceptional breadth of services. We look forward to supporting your commercial or personal journeys in the years to come. Sincerely, Captain Gianluigi Aponte and Mr Diego Aponte 4 5
