Robert Uggla’s AP Moller Holding is reportedly lining up a takeover of Maersk Drilling alongside a mystery industry partner.

It would mark the sale of the third of AP Moller’s four energy businesses after the divestment of Maersk Oil and Maersk Tankers.

If the deal went ahead, as reported by Berlingske today, it would mark a carbon copy of the transaction put in place for Maersk Tankers last year.
