List of Publicly Traded Container Shipping Companies Listed on Major U.S. Exchanges

Containerships are responsible for shipping a very large percentage of the world’s manufactured goods today. The basic business model that many of these containership companies employ is straightforward. These companies lease out their containerships to different liner shipping companies through medium to long-term charter contracts. If a company is able to successfully execute this strategy then they potentially could generate stable cash flow through these lease contracts. While many of these companies focus on this business model, there are also shipping services that the companies offer outside of medium to long-term contracts to a variety of industries around the world.

Also included on this list are companies that rent cargo and freight containers which include TAL International (TAL) and Textainer Group (TGH).
