Maersk to shift focus from shipping
Nils Andersen said the company would reduce investment in Maersk Line, the company's shipping container operation, the FT said. Maersk Line is the world's largest operator of container ships, and holds a market share of 16%, the FT said.
"We will move away from the shipping side of things and go towards the higher profit generators and more stable businesses," Mr. Andersen said, according to the Financial Times. He added, "When we have taken that shift, probably more than 50% of our capital will be tied up in these three other businesses. Maersk Line will then account for 25%-30% of capital. We will have four businesses of almost equal size."
