About Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM)
HMM traces its roots to 1976, when it was founded in South Korea as Asia Merchant Marine before becoming Hyundai Merchant Marine, part of the Hyundai Group.

After the 2016 collapse of Hanjin Shipping, it stepped into the role of South Korea's flagship national container carrier, with the state-linked Korea Development Bank and Korea Ocean Business Corporation among its largest shareholders.
Based in Seoul, HMM runs a fleet in the range of 80-plus container ships and roughly 900,000 TEU of capacity, placing it among the top ten global carriers. It is best known for the HMM Algeciras class, a series of twelve vessels that each carry close to 24,000 TEU. When HMM Algeciras entered service in 2020 it was the largest container ship in the world by capacity, and the class remains a signature part of the company's Asia-Europe network.
Since February 2025 HMM has operated within the Premier Alliance alongside Ocean Network Express and Yang Ming, the successor to THE Alliance after Hapag-Lloyd departed. The grouping also runs a slot-exchange arrangement with MSC on Asia-Europe services. HMM's core coverage spans the Transpacific, Asia-North Europe, Asia-Mediterranean, and Asia-Middle East trades, complemented by intra-Asia routes, bulk shipping, and integrated logistics.
