One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Frequently asked questions

The Global Shipping Giant

A.P. Moller - Maersk, commonly known as Maersk, is a logistics company that has navigated the complex waters of global trade since its inception in 1904. Founded in Denmark, Maersk has grown to become one of the largest container shipping companies in the world, boasting a comprehensive end-to-end supply chain management system. Their services encompass a broad spectrum of logistics solutions, including shipping, warehousing, and distribution, making them a critical part of the global supply chain.

Maersk's Voyage Started in 1904

Maersk’s story begins in Svendborg, Denmark, where Arnold Peter Møller and his father Captain Peter Maersk Møller established the company in 1904. The aim was to establish a reliable, efficient, and flexible shipping service to facilitate international trade. This partnership laid the foundations for what later would become a titan of the shipping industry. Rapid expansion followed, and by 1928 Maersk launched its first ocean-going diesel ship, the M/S Selandia, a significant achievement in the industry. Although its operations are now truly global, Maersk’s headquarters are in Copenhagen. Today, the company is one of the biggest in Denmark together with names like LEGO and Carlsberg, and plays an important role in the Danish economy.

In the Heart of Global Commerce

Maersk has a significant influence on the ebb and flow of global trade. Their operations span more than 130 countries, allowing them to serve businesses large and small in various industries. With a fleet of over 700 ships, Maersk has the capacity to transport millions of twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) containers annually, making them a critical cornerstone in the world's supply chains. Their extensive network allows them to connect manufacturers and consumers across continents, enabling businesses to bring their goods to market in a timely and efficient manner. However, Maersk is not alone in the industry and other players include names like Hapag-Lloyd and Evergreen.

Steering Towards a Sustainable Future

The world of shipping is not immune to the sweeping changes brought about by concerns over climate change and sustainability. Recognizing these emerging trends, Maersk has taken significant steps to ensure that its operations align with a more sustainable future. The company has committed to achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050 and is experimenting with the use of alternative fuels for its massive fleet. Additionally, Maersk is continuously exploring ways to make its supply chain operations more efficient, thus minimizing waste and reducing its overall environmental impact.
