Maersk Line is the global container division and the largest operating unit of the A.P. Moller – Maersk Group, a Danish business conglomerate. It is the world's largest container shipping company having customers through 374 offices in 116 countries. It employs approximately 7,000 sea farers and approximately 25,000 land-based people.[1][2] Maersk Line operates over 600 vessels and has a capacity of 2.6 million TEU.[3] The company was founded in 1928.[4]
Fleet
As of July 2011 Maersk Line fleet comprises more than 600 vessels and a number of containers corresponding to more than 3.8 million TEU (Twenty-foot equivalent unit)[5]
In 2006, the largest container ship in the world to date, the E-class vessel Emma Maersk, was delivered to Maersk Line from Odense Steel Shipyard.[6]
Seven other sister ships have since been built, and in 2011, Maersk ordered 20 even larger container ships from Daewoo, the Triple E class, each with a capacity of 18,000 containers. The first of these Triple E Class ships was delivered on June 14, 2013 and was christened with the name Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller after the founder of the Maersk Line.[7]
Sustainability
In 2011-12, Maersk Line cooperated with the US Navy on testing 7-100% algae biofuel on the Maersk Kalmar.[8][9] From 2007-2014, and mainly due to slow steaming, Maersk Line reduced its CO2 emissions by 40% or 11 million tonnes, about the same reduction as the rest of Denmark.[10]
Management
On December 19, 2011, it was announced that Søren Skou will take over as CEO of Maersk Line from Eivind Kolding, effective from 16 January 2012.[11][12]
The management board, led by Søren Skou, is responsible for the daily management, and the members are (as of January 2015):[13]
- Søren Skou, Chief Executive Officer
- Stephen Richard Schueler, Chief Commercial Officer
- Søren Toft, Chief Operating Officer
- Jakob Stausholm, Chief Strategy, Finance & Transformation Officer
- Vincent Clerc, Chief Trade & Marketing Officer
- Michael Chivers, Head of Human Resources
