Svitzer joins the A.P. Moller Group
We are happy to welcome Svitzer as a stand-alone company to the A.P. Moller Group.
Established in 1833, Svitzer is today a global market leader within towage and marine services. Towage is a mission critical port infrastructure service enabling efficient and safe marine traffic, hence critical for enabling the flow of goods around the world.
Following the demerger of Svitzer from A.P. Moller – Maersk, A.P. Moller Holding is now a significant shareholder of the company. As a stand-alone company, we believe Svitzer has good opportunities to continue its growth journey and further improve its market position. We look forward to supporting Svitzer.
