They have not said how much, but they lost CNY 3.35bn in the first quarter (approximately 490.4 Million USD).
Here's the top 10 carriers, and their market shares, as reported in April 2009 by AXS-Alphaliner.
(see my blog post Top 100 International Carriers)
1 APM-Maersk 15.3%
2 Mediterranean Shg Co 11.5%
3 CMA CGM Group 7.3%
4 Evergreen Line 4.7%
5 COSCO Container L. 3.7%
6 Hapag-Lloyd 3.7%
7 APL (NOL) 3.7%
8 CSCL 3.4%
9 NYK 3.2%
10 Hanjin Shipping 2.9%
Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, COSCO, Hapag-Lloyd, APL have all announced loses.
The others I don't recall, but I can't imagine any of them are making money this year.
