Danish giant AP Moller-Maersk has appointed its second finance chief in little over a year.

The boxship and ports group said Patrick Jany, 52, will join from 1 May from Swiss chemicals company Clariant, where he is chief financial officer.

The new CFO replaces Carolina Dybeck Happe, who is leaving early this year to join Boston-based General Electric (GE).

She only started work at Maersk in January 2019.
