Description

Maersk Line, the Danish multinational container shipping line which is part of the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group, announced 8 January 2008 that 2000-3000 jobs will be cut by April 2008. Mainly mid-level managers at world wide level will be affected by the redundancies. None or very few of the job cuts will occur in Denmark.

Maersk Line has issued the restructuring plan for the shipping line involving the redundancies to face some difficulties after the take over of Nedloyd.
