APM Terminals has taken full ownership of the port of Aarhus, the largest container hub in Denmark.

The terminal arm of the Maersk Group has acquired Aarhus Service Holding’s remaining 40% share in the joint venture (JV), which was established in 2010 by the two parties.

Joe Nicklaus Nielsen, head of port investments at APM, said: “This acquisition reflects our confidence in the Danish market and our goal to expand our Scandinavia profile.”
