Lead section update

I have rewritten the title section to accurately represent the current industry of the company, since it is no longer a conglomerate. However, I have left the top page warnings in place because some sections of the article (mainly sections on the Energy division) are still to be updated to reflect this.

I modified the lede section (little bit) RPSkokie (talk) 03:26, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Maersk and tonnage taxation

This section is extremely weird and reads like a personal essay with numerous tangents not related to Maersk. For explain, it includes a 3 line sentence about how happy people in Denmark are, and explains the concept of "hygge". The section needs to be cleaned up or removed. Ashmoo (talk) 10:59, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Ashmoo, I agree completely - it is really offtopic. I would suggest to remove.

FYI for the sake of transparency, I am a communicator at Maersk, no one at our company had owned the maintenance of these pages for soem time and there a lot of irrelevant or outdated points. Happy to have this section removed, but I wanted to follow correct Wiki proceedures as I beleive I am not supposed ot edit my own company's page? Philip Lewin (talk) 12:57, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

2023 temporary suspension / page organisation

May be a good idea to include their shipping suspension due to Houthi attacks in December 2023. The page however is quite cluttered so I don't want to make any major changes. Perhaps the headings for the subsidiaries, for instance, should be integrated? Tanaya001 (talk) 01:57, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Tanaya, thanks for the comment. I think the challenge is the issue is quite complex and it is not only Maersk, most of the major shipping lines are not going through the Red Sea, and some are with support from the peacekeeping force. So a long explanation would be needed, that also includes the history of the attacks and the impact on global shipping.

Several suggested updates coming

Hi Wiki editor, I am part of Maersk's global communications team, we realize that no one has really owned the maintenance of our pages and now there is quite a bit out of date. I will upload a number of suggestions here, if you want to contact me and discuss or clarify anything, my mail is philip.lewin and then Maersk (unfortunately our corporate firewall prohibits me from adding comments from a Maersk device or our office network, so I am entering these from my personal computer at home). There is quite a bit on our website that is obsolete or no longer relevant, outdated or changed, and a fair amount of new stuff too. Happy to chat with you if it helps, and thank you for considering our suggestions. 93.160.24.76 (talk) 12:11, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Under the 'History' heading, this proposed revision

In September 2023, Maersk unveiled Laura Mærsk, the world's first vessel capable of sailing on green methanol. Laura Mærsk is a feeder vessel of 2,100 TEU capacity in service on the Baltic Sea. In June of 2023, Maersk also announced an order for six additional mid-sized container vessels of 9,000 TEU capacity, bringing its total order book to 24 new vessels capable of sailing on green methanol.

In November of 2023, Maersk sign a landmark offtake agreement with Chinese developer Goldwind, a global leader in clean energy. The agreement looks to secure annual volumes of 500KT of green fuels including bio-methanol and e-methanol, all produced utilising wind energy at a new production facility in Hinggan League, Northeast China, around 1000km northeast of Beijing. The first volumes expected in 2026. Philip Lewin (talk) 12:19, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
