UASC, APL and Hanjin Shipping have been the most active in adding fleet capacity among the world's top 20 liner carriers over the past 12 months, according to a report by the maritime consultant Dynamar.   Dynamar reported capacity changes in fleets since October 2008 in its Dynaliners newsletter. UASC, the 20th-largest carrier, added 31,000 TEUs of capacity or 22 percent for a current total of 175,000 TEUs. APL, fifth-largest, added 65,000 TEUs or 13 percent for a total of 547,000 TEUs. Hanjin, 10th-largest, added 38,000 TEUs or 10 percent for a total of 411,000 TEUs.   On the other side, MOL (12th-largers) and OOCL (13th) both shed 10 percent of their capacities -- 37,000 and 35,000 TEUs, respectively. Evergreen, the world's fourth-biggest line, shed 59,000 TEUs or 9 percent of its capacity. Hapag-Lloyd and COSCO Container Lines, both in the top 10, also shed capacity, while most other lines added a nominal amount of capacity.    American Shipper
