The story

Inside Maersk

A.P. Møller-Mærsk traces back to 1904, when Arnold Peter Møller and his father founded a single-steamship company in Svendborg. Over a century it grew into one of the two largest container lines on earth and the anchor of global containerised trade, famous for its pale-blue hulls and seven-pointed star.

Maersk pioneered the ultra-large container vessel with its Triple-E class and has since bet its future on becoming an integrated logistics company — combining ocean, ports (APM Terminals), air and inland freight under one roof. In 2025 it launched the Gemini Cooperation with Hapag-Lloyd, promising industry-leading schedule reliability through a hub-and-spoke network.
