The Danish group has closed the first three months of this year with a net profit of 6,8 billion dollars (+150.6%)
May 4, 2022
The Ocean division alone, focused on the activity of the shipping companies Maersk Line, Hamburg Süd, Aliança and Sealand and the group's hub activity terminalista APM Terminals, totaled record revenues of 15.6 billion dollars (+64.3%), of which 13.6 billion generated directly from the activity of maritime transport of goods (+65.3%) and 2.0 billion from other activities including those terminal (+57.5%). Operating costs were 7.3 billion dollars (+20.9%), of which 2.5 billion in costs of container handling (+7.7%), over 1.6 billion in costs of fuels (+51.0%), less than 2.0 billion in operating costs of the service network (+19.1%), 677 million dollars in costs administrative and management (+3.5%) and 432 million in other costs (+70,8%). EBITDA reached a record 8.2 billion dollars (+138.5%) and a new high was also reached operating profit of almost 7.1 billion dollars (+161.9%).

The average freight value was found equal to 4,553 dollars/feu (+71.0%), with an average freight of 4,898 dollars/feu for east-west services only (+83.6%), one freight average of $5,361/feu for north-south maritime services alone (+59.7%) and an average freight of $2,896/feu for services intra-regional (+8.8%).
The only terminal sector of the Danish group closed the first quarter of 2022 with record financial results starting revenues of over $1.1 billion compared to $915 billion million in the same period last year and EBITDA of $675 million versus $323 million in the first quarter of 2021.
