Interim Report Q2 2018
The Interim Report for 2nd Quarter 2018 for A.P.
Møller - Mærsk A/S is hereby enclosed.
CEO of A.P. Møller - Mærsk A/S, Søren Skou,
states:
“With revenue up 24% in Q2, we continued to deliver strong
growth. The acquisition of Hamburg Süd of course was a positive
contributor to growth in our Ocean segment, and we are pleased with
the organic growth in non-Ocean. We expect revenue of around USD
40bn in 2018, up almost 50% since 2016,” says Søren Skou, CEO of
A.P. Møller - Mærsk A/S and continues:
“We also delivered a sharp improvement in unit cost in Ocean,
after a Q1 that was negatively impacted by inflow of capacity from
the acquisition of Hamburg-Süd and network issues. Profitability
was significantly impacted by higher bunker prices in Q2 and
remained at unsatisfactory levels. For the rest of the year we
expect improvements in our profitability driven by lower unit cost
and higher freight rates.”
