News Analysis: Privately Italian-Owned Swiss “Mediterranean Shipping Company, S.A.”, (MSC) Is the World’s Largest Container Shipping Line (since Danish Shipping Giant Maersk has decided to adjust its Ship Inventory).
Founded in 1970, by Mr. Gianluigi Aponte, in Geneva, Switzerland, today ‘MSC’ operates 447+ Container Ships with a capacity of 2,314,000+ Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (Twenty Foot Long Shipping Containers).
It is interesting to note that Mr. Aponte is not discussed widely in the Mass Media; Compared to, the vastly written about ‘Billionaire Nabobs’ of the Electronic: Hardware Companies, Internet Relationship Sites, Software Manufacturers, or Entertainment Company “Owners”. The aforementioned Corporations are PUBLICLY HELD and ‘Minority Share Owned’ by their Founders.
Mr. Aponte’s Accomplishments are to be greatly respected in the International Community. His Creation was not an Inheritance, nor Gift, as it is with so many ‘Others’ discussed in the Press (or the Subject of Motion Pictures).
Many International Businessmen KNOW: “Being Everywhere, While Being Nowhere” is the Apotheosis of Commerce. It grants one Privacy and the capability to “Call One’s Own Shots”; not be controlled by Oblique Investors who know little but unfortunately, think they know everything.
Reality.
