MSC: The container shipping big dog

I don’t know how to interpret this statement–
“All in all, MSC has now bought a mind-blowing 383 second-hand container ships in the last four years,” Alphaliner said in its report.

After MSC overtook Maersk, the two companies were still very comparable in fleet capacity (both 17%-ish, less than 0.5% separation), and still in an alliance. MSC is now around 20% alone.
