APM Terminals is one of the largest container terminal operating companies in the world, with a network of more than 50 container facilities in 31 countries on five continents, with another 14 currently under construction or in development.
APM Terminals was established as an independent terminal operating company within the Copenhagen, Denmark-based A.P. Moller-Maersk Group in 2001. In 2004, APM Terminals moved its headquarters to The Hague, Netherlands. Today the company supports more than 60 shipping lines with its services, employing more than 19,000 people world-wide.
The company’s history in terminal operations began half a century ago with the first A.P. Moller facility, which opened in Brooklyn, in the Port of New York in 1958 to handle general cargoes. In 1975, the company established the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s very first dedicated container terminal at Berth 51 in Port Elizabeth, New Jersey, which is still in operation today.
In 2006, APM Terminals had a 7.4% share of the global container port traffic, making it the second largest terminal operator in the world. Revenue for the first half of 2007 was $1.195 billion, a 26% increase in revenue compared to the same period in 2006.
APM Terminals was recognized by industry magazine Containerization International as the 2006 “Best Global Container Terminal Operator”.
