Maersk Broker believes it can match 2019's profit this year despite the havoc wreaked by the coronavirus pandemic.

The Danish shipbroking shop has reported net earnings of DKK 43.44m ($6.53m) for last year, down from DKK 55m in 2018.

Revenue grew to DKK 394m from DKK 357m, but the firm was hit by a higher tax charge as expected, it said in its annual accounts.
