22/02/2013 - MAERSK GIVES SHIPPING WARNING A.P. Moller-Maersk relied on higher freight rates and cost reduction schemes to lift fourth-quarter profit, but modest growth expectations and concerns about pricing has the Danish shipping conglomerate relying increasingly less on mature shipping markets and turning the focus to emerging markets and its oil business. Maersk is the world's largest container shipping company in terms of revenue, but in recent years has increasingly focused on other endeavours, such as oil production and drilling. While the Maersk line shipping business represents the bulk of the company's revenue, Maersk Oil -- with operations on several continents — delivered most of the profits.
