AP Moller-Maersk will integrate its liner and container terminal operations in an effort to unlock synergies and raise returns, says chief executive Soren Skou.
He says Maersk Line will be integrated with APM Terminals (APMT) as part of the Danish conglomerate’s plan to become a “pure play container, logistics and ports company”.
Historically, Maersk Line and its terminal operation worked at arms length but the shift in strategy points towards integrating not only the liner operations with the terminals but also with AP Moller’s freight forwarding division Damco.
