Denmark’s largest conglomerate, the A.P. Møller-Mærsk group, is under heavy pressure in its core container business where it returned a loss of DKK 1.58 billion in the third quarter, compared with a profit of DKK 5.9 billion in the same quarter last year.
Forecasts of a small profit in 2011 have now been revised, with Mærsk Line forecasting a deficit for the year.
