WELCOME TO
MSC THAILAND

Connecting Thailand to the world

MSC opened its first branch in Bangkok, Thailand in February 2001, but we had been doing business in the country for several years prior to that with the help of a third-party agent. MSC also subsequently set up offices in Songkhla (Southern Thailand) and a vessel operations office in Laem Chabang port (Eastern Thailand). In November 2019, MSC upgraded the Laem Chabang branch to a bigger office in order to provide a broader range of commercial services.
