HISTORY
FOUNDATION — 1904-1912
A.P. MOLLER – MAERSK WAS FOUNDED ON APRIL 16, 1904, IN THE MIDST OF THE SECOND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, IN A SMALL TOWN CALLED SVENDBORG, ON THE DANISH ISLAND OF FUNEN.
A.P. MØLLER, A DRIVER FOR THE STEAMSHIP COMPANY SVENDBORG, GOT HIS START IN CARGO SHIPPING, WHERE VESSELS OPERATE IN THE SPOT MARKET WITH NO FIXED SCHEDULES OR PORT STOPOVERS. EAGER TO EXPAND THE FLEET BEYOND HIS MODEST THREE SHIPS, A.P. MØLLER ENCOUNTERED RESISTANCE FROM SOME MEMBERS OF THE COMPANY’S BOARD, SO HE PURSUED HIS OWN CAREER.
FOUNDING THE STEAMSHIP COMPANY IN 1912, IT SECURED ITS OPERATIONAL INDEPENDENCE AND PAVED THE WAY FOR THE COMPANY’S RAPID EXPANSION IN THE YEARS TO COME.
TRACING OUR ORIGINS
ALTHOUGH A.P. MOLLER – MAERSK WAS OFFICIALLY FOUNDED IN 1904, THE COMPANY’S HISTORY GOES BACK EVEN FURTHER. THE STORY BEGINS WITH PETER MÆRSK MØLLER – FATHER OF A.P. MØLLER – WHO CAME FROM A LONG LINE OF SAILORS.
PETER MÆRSK MØLLER CAPTAINED SEVERAL SAILING SHIPS AND BARGES BELONGING TO HIS FATHER-IN-LAW. ONE OF THESE WAS THE BARQUE VALKYRIEN, WHICH HE TOOK COMMAND OF IN 1876. IN DECEMBER 1883, ON A VOYAGE FROM NEWPORT, USA, TO GLASGOW, THE VALKYRIEN WAS WRECKED IN BAD WEATHER OFF THE SCOTTISH COAST. HE RETURNED HOME TO FIND THAT HIS FATHER-IN-LAW HAD PASSED AWAY AND THAT THE FAMILY BUSINESS WOULD BE CLOSED, LEAVING HIM WITH NO MEANS TO SUPPORT THE FAMILY. IT WAS THEN THAT HE DECIDED TO STUDY ENGINEERING AT BOGØ’S SCHOOL OF NAVIGATION, WITH THE GOAL OF BECOMING A STEAMSHIP MASTER. HE COMPLETED HIS EXAMS AT THE AGE OF 50, AND IN 1886 HE BOUGHT HIS FIRST STEAMSHIP – THE LAURA – AND FOUNDED THE STEAMSHIP COMPANY LAURA IN THE FAMILY HOME IN SVENDBORG.
AT A TIME WHEN STEAM WAS NOT YET WIDELY USED IN DANISH MERCHANT FLEETS, PETER MÆRSK MØLLER BEGAN TO EDUCATE HIS CHILDREN TO BE PART OF THIS NEW ENDEAVOR. ONE BECAME A NAVIGATOR, TWO BECAME ENGINEERS, AND THE FOURTH – A.P. MØLLER – TRAINED IN NAVIGATION. IT WAS THIS FATHER-SON DUO WHO WOULD FOUND THE STEAMSHIP COMPANY SVENDBORG IN 1904, WHICH WOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME THE CURRENT A.P. MOLLER – MAERSK.
CONSOLIDATION — 1913-1940
THE GOLDEN CIRCUMSTANCES OF TRADE AND SHIPPING THAT AROSE DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR HELPED TO ESTABLISH A.P. MOLLER – MAERSK AS ONE OF THE LEADING SHIPPING COMPANIES IN DENMARK. ALTHOUGH A.P. MØLLER HIMSELF WAS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH ARTIFICIAL PROFITS AND SPECULATIONS – A SENTIMENT HE EXPRESSED IN A LETTER HE WROTE TO HIS FATHER AT THE TIME – MAERSK’S SHIPPING ACTIVITIES BENEFITED GREATLY.
UNDER THESE LUCRATIVE CONDITIONS, THE BUSINESS QUICKLY EXPANDED TO INCLUDE BROKERAGE (1913), SHIPBUILDING (1918), LINE TRANSPORTATION AND TANKER TRADING (1928), A SUGAR PLANTATION (1930), AS WELL AS INVESTMENTS IN A NUMBER OF OTHER INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES.
IN 1918, A.P. MØLLER FOUNDED THE ODENSE STEEL SHIPYARD, WHICH FOR NEARLY A CENTURY DESIGNED AND BUILT MANY INNOVATIVE VESSELS FOR THE INDUSTRY. FROM THE MID-1990S, THE SHIPYARD BUILT SOME OF THE WORLD’S LARGEST CONTAINER SHIPS FOR A.P. MOLLER – MAERSK.
THE DECISION TO END SHIPBUILDING WAS TAKEN IN 2009, AND AFTER THE DELIVERY OF THE LAST SHIPS IN 2012, THE AREA WAS TRANSFORMED INTO THE LINDØ INDUSTRIAL PARK.
IT’S AN OLD IDEA OF MINE, TO ONE DAY SET UP A SHIPYARD, TO BUILD SHIPS USING THE SAILING EXPERIENCE OF OUR COMPANIES… I THINK I CAN MAKE IT WORK ON MY OWN, AND REALISTICALLY, I DON’T THINK IT WOULD BE A DISGRACE IF MOST OF WHAT WAS ACHIEVED DURING THE WAR WAS LOST IN SUCH AN ENDEAVOR, AS LONG AS SOMETHING GOOD COMES OF IT.
A.P. MØLLER IN A LETTER TO HIS FATHER, 1917
THE SECOND WORLD WAR —1940-1945
WHEN GERMAN FORCES OCCUPIED DENMARK ON 9 APRIL 1940, THE MAERSK FLEET CONSISTED OF 46 SHIPS, 36 OF WHICH WERE OUTSIDE DANISH WATERS AND WERE EVENTUALLY REQUISITIONED BY ALLIED FORCES. THOSE THAT REMAINED IN DANISH WATERS WERE MAINLY USED TO TRANSPORT GERMAN COAL AND COKE TO DENMARK. A TOTAL OF 25 MAERSK SHIPS WERE WRECKED DURING THE WAR, AND 150 SAILORS LOST THEIR LIVES.
BY THE END OF THE WAR, THE FLEET WAS REDUCED TO JUST 21 SHIPS, OF WHICH ONLY SEVEN WERE UNDER DANISH CONTROL. BUT DUE TO RAPID RECONSTRUCTION AND THE ACQUISITION OF LARGER VESSELS, THE MAERSK FLEET RETURNED TO PRE-WAR TONNAGE LEVELS IN JUST THREE YEARS.
THE NIGHT BEFORE THE OCCUPATION
A.P. MØLLER FEARED THAT GERMAN AUTHORITIES MIGHT TRY TO TAKE CONTROL OF MAERSK’S ENTIRE FLEET. THE NIGHT BEFORE THE OCCUPATION, HE AND HIS SON, MÆRSK MC-KINNEY MØLLER, TELEGRAPHED ALL MAERSK SHIPS OUT OF DANISH WATERS.
THEY INSTRUCTED THEIR SHIPS OUTSIDE DANISH TERRITORIES, IN THE EVENT OF THE GERMAN OCCUPATION OF DENMARK, TO HEAD FOR NEUTRAL PORTS AND TO STOP FOLLOWING ORDERS OR DIRECTIONS FROM HEADQUARTERS.
DUE TO THE URGENCY OF THE SITUATION, CONTROL OVER THE FOREIGN FLEET WAS TEMPORARILY TRANSFERRED TO A.P. MØLLER’S COUSIN, WHO LIVED IN NEW YORK. MÆRSK MC-KINNEY MØLLER TRAVELLED TO THE U.S. TO ENSURE THAT RELATIONS IN THE REGION WERE MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT THE WAR, BEING INSTRUMENTAL IN THE POST-WAR EFFORTS TO REBUILD MAERSK’S FLEET.
EXPANSION — 1945-1975
TODAY, MAERSK CONNECTS ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. BUT IN 1928 THERE WAS ONLY ONE ROUTE ON THE MAERSK LINE COVERING THREE COUNTRIES: THE USA, JAPAN AND THE PHILIPPINES. NEW ROUTES TO SOUTHEAST ASIA FOLLOWED, FIRST TO CHINA, THEN TO THAILAND, HONG KONG, SRI LANKA, INDIA AND THE PERSIAN GULF.
FROM THE 1950S TO 1970S, A.P. MØLLER MAINLY TRANSPORTED CRUDE OIL ON MAERSK TANKERS, COVERING THE SMALLER MARKETS OF WORLD TRADE. MAERSK LINE WAS STILL A RELATIVELY SMALL PLAYER ON THE GLOBAL STAGE, BUT THAT WAS ALL ABOUT TO CHANGE WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE STANDARDIZED CONTAINER.
WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE IS FOR PEOPLE TO GET TO KNOW US, JUST LIKE US, EXPLORE THEIR PROBLEMS WITH US, AND COME TO US WHEN SOMETHING RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION COMES UP.
MÆRSK MC-KINNEY MØLLER, CIRCA 1958
CONTAINERIZATION — 1975-1986
ALTHOUGH THE FIRST CONTAINER SHIP LEFT THE PORT OF NEWARK IN 1956, LARGE-SCALE GLOBAL CONTAINERIZATION CAME MUCH LATER. CONTAINERIZATION OF THE MAERSK FLEET BEGAN WITH PANAMA LINE, AND THE FIRST FULLY CONTAINERIZED SERVICE WAS LAUNCHED ON SEPTEMBER 5, 1975, WHEN THE ADRIAN MAERSK DEPARTED PORT ELIZABETH ON THE U.S. EAST COAST, LOADED WITH 385 CONTAINERS.
AT THE TIME, NO ONE COULD HAVE PREDICTED THE SCALE ON WHICH THE MARITIME INDUSTRY WOULD BE REVOLUTIONIZED BY CONTAINERIZATION. CONTAINER SHIPPING SOON WENT ON TO RECORD AN ANNUAL GROWTH RATE OF ABOUT 20%, AND BY 1985, MOST CONVENTIONAL LINES HAD ALREADY BEEN CONTAINERIZED OR WERE ABOUT TO BE.
AN IDEA THAT CHANGED THE INDUSTRY
WHILE WAITING FOR HIS TRUCK TO BE UNLOADED ONE DAY, MALCOLM MCLEAN, ENTREPRENEUR AND OWNER OF SEA-LAND, CAME UP WITH AN IDEA THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY DESTABILIZE GLOBAL SHIPPING ON AN UNPRECEDENTED SCALE. WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO STREAMLINE THE CARGO WORKFLOW BY LOADING TRUCK TRAILERS DIRECTLY ONTO VESSELS?
MCLEAN AND HIS EMPLOYEES DEVELOPED THE CARGO CONTAINER, THE CHASSIS FOR ROAD TRANSPORT, AND THE SPECIALLY EQUIPPED VESSELS THAT MADE CONTAINERIZATION POSSIBLE. ON APRIL 26, 1956, A CONVERTED TANKER CALLED THE IDEAL X DEPARTED NEWARK, BOUND FOR HOUSTON, WITH A CARGO OF 58 CONTAINERS.
SINCE THEN, CONTAINERIZATION HAS COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED GLOBAL TRADE, WITH MODERN MAERSK SHIPS CAPABLE OF CARRYING MORE THAN 18,000 CONTAINERS – MORE THAN 300 TIMES THE CAPACITY OF THAT FIRST CONTAINER SHIP SO MANY YEARS AGO.
GOING GLOBAL — 1986-2016
SINCE THE MAIDEN VOYAGE OF THE FIRST CONTAINERIZED SHIP IN 1956, SHIPPING AND LOGISTICS HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE KEY ENABLERS OF THE GLOBALIZATION OF TRADE. AFTER THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL IN 1989, NEW OPPORTUNITIES AROSE IN NEW MARKETS, AND MAERSK EXPANDED ITS REACH FROM 40 COUNTRIES IN 1990 TO MORE THAN 100 COUNTRIES JUST TEN YEARS LATER.
THANKS TO THE CONTAINER AND THE BARCODE – THE HIDDEN ENABLERS OF WORLD TRADE – A MANUFACTURER ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD CAN SELL ITS PRODUCTS IN ALL MARKETS.
INTEGRATION — 2016 – PRESENT
IN 2015, A.P. MOLLER – MAERSK WAS A WIDE-RANGING CONGLOMERATE WITH ACTIVITIES IN THE AREAS OF SHIPPING, TERMINALS, LOGISTICS, OIL & GAS, AND OTHER OFFSHORE ACTIVITIES SPANNING MORE THAN 130 COUNTRIES. BUT THIS WAS BEGINNING TO PREVENT THE COMPANY FROM CONTINUING TO GROW SUSTAINABLY. AFTER A STRATEGIC REVIEW IN 2016, IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT A.P. MOLLER – MAERSK WOULD REORGANIZE INTO TWO SEPARATE DIVISIONS: TRANSPORT & LOGISTICS AND ENERGY, WITH THE AIM OF BECOMING AN INTEGRATED COMPANY FOCUSED ON TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS.
BECOMING THE GLOBAL INTEGRATOR OF CONTAINER LOGISTICS REQUIRED A MAJOR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION, MOVING AWAY FROM A PREVIOUSLY VERY ANALOG BUSINESS AND SETTING AMBITIOUS DECARBONIZATION GOALS.
NOW, THE GLOBAL INTEGRATOR STRATEGY REMAINS FOCUSED ON BUILDING THREE WORLD-CLASS DIVISIONS – LOGISTICS & SERVICES, OCEAN AND TERMINALS – ALL WITH STRONG SYNERGIES BETWEEN THEM. THIS ENABLES US TO DELIVER COMPLETE SUPPLY CHAIN SOLUTIONS TO OUR CUSTOMERS AROUND THE WORLD.
