November 30, 2017 – Maersk Transport & Logistics’ proposed acquisition of Hamburg Süd has now received final approval by the competition authorities in all relevant jurisdictions globally. We are happy and excited to welcome Hamburg Süd to the Maersk Line family. We see Hamburg Süd as a well-run company with highly valuable employees who offer their customers a service that is unique in the market.
This marks an important milestone on our journey towards a new, strong business alliance, which will continue to offer you integrated cargo solutions that cater to your logistics ambitions. We will continue to engage separately with our customers in global container shipping. In other words, you will deal with the same great people in both organizations going forward.
We are looking forward to unveiling what exciting opportunities the combination of our companies can provide from a product and network standpoint, and we will be in touch with you after closing to discuss this in much more detail. We are confident that you will not be disappointed!
Should you have any questions in this regard, do not hesitate to contact your sales representative.
