What the latest filing tells us

For the plan year ended Dec 31, 2024, MEDITERRANEAN SHIPPING COMPANY USA, INC. reported $9,494,864 in employer contributions across the plan and 1,574 active participants. That works out to $6,032 per active participant. It is useful context, but it is not the current match formula and it does not show what any one employee received.

Where the public filing stops

Current match, vesting, eligibility, employee fees, and investment choices require a dated plan document. Until we have one, those details stay blank.
