MPC Container Ships ASA engages in the provision of container tonnage, with a focus on small to mid-size containerships. The company is headquartered in Oslo, Oslo and currently employs 38 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2017-04-28. The Groups principal business activity is to invest in and operate maritime assets in the container ship segment. The firm focuses on the ownership and operation of smaller container vessels deployed in regional and intra-regional services due to a combination of distance, volumes and port infrastructure restrictions as well as flexibility requirements e.g. transshipment of containers from large vessels at deep water ports into smaller vessels serving minor ports in the regions. Intra-regional services support main services by connecting ports on international shipping lanes with one or more smaller ports, which are not services by the main line vessels.
