4. Was established in the town of Svendborg by A.P. Møller and his father Peter Mærsk Møller.
Of course due to favorable circumstances in the shipping business during the First World War company

In 1918 they already had their own shipyard to build ships and other type of vessels.
After one year they opened their first office abroad (office was opened in New York).
Also… that in 1921 they created a single screw diesel ship which could transport goods from USA to Asia.

vessels on the original route, which still connects USA and The Far East.
In 2013, the first Triple-E containership was delivered. The ship was named after the late Mærsk Mc-
Kinney Møller, who passed away the year before.
Upon delivery, MÆRSK MC-KINNEY MØLLER was the largest ship in the world, with its 400 metres in
length, a capacity of more than 18.000 twenty-foot containers
The unique design features of the Triple-E series ensure more energy-efficient ships, economy of scale,
while also greatly reducing the CO2 emission per container.
