Shipping giant Maersk saw its<\/strong> bottom line fall 23.3%<\/strong> y-o-y to USD 639 <\/strong>mn <\/strong>in 2Q 2025<\/strong>, according to a statement (pdf)<\/a> released on Thursday. The firm\u2019s revenues rose by 2.8% y-o-y to USD 13.1 bn in 2Q 2025 \u2014 attributable to high performances across its segment.<\/p>\n

On a 6M basis:<\/strong> The firm\u2019s net income rose by 22.7% y-o-y \u2014 according to our calculations \u2014 to USD 1.8 bn in 1H 2025, according to the statement. Consolidated revenues rose 5.3% y-o-y to USD 26.5 bn in 1H due to an increase in all the segments. <\/p>\n

Segment breakdown: <\/strong>Maersk\u2019s Ocean segment revenues rose 2.4% y-o-y to USD 8.6 bn in 2Q 2025 on the back of higher cargo volumes and revenue from demurrage and detention fees, and despite a decrease in freight rates. Revenue from the Logistics and Services segment increased 1% y-o-y to USD 4 bn, while the Terminals segment\u2019s revenue increased 20% y-o-y to USD 1.3 bn due to higher cargo volumes, storage revenues, and improved tariffs. <\/p>\n

ALSO- Maersk raised its 2025 financial guidance<\/strong>. <\/strong>The shipping giant adjusted its forecast of global container market volume growth to 2-4% \u2014 compared to its previous 1Q estimate<\/a> of between a 1% decline and 4% growth. Still, the firm expects Red Sea disruptions to last for the rest of 2025, while projections for a mid-year return could potentially leave Maersk breaking even this year \u2014 though continued restrictions and geopolitical tension could see a net income of USD 3 bn<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Chinese state-owned Cosco Shipping is looking to acquire a 20-30% stake in <\/strong>CK Hutchinson <\/strong>\u2014 a Hong Kong-based global port operator with 43 ports under its portfolio including Panama Canal\u2019s two major ports, people familiar with the matter told Financial Times<\/a> on Saturday. One of the options currently on the table would see Cosco take stakes in all of CK Hutchinson\u2019s portfolio \u2014 about 41 ports \u2014 except Panama Canal\u2019s assets. <\/p>\n

IN CONTEXT- <\/strong>The development comes after China effectively derailed a preliminary agreement to sell the company to a consortium led by BlackRock and the Greek-based Mediterranean Shipping Company by forcing the expiration of the deadline to finalize the sale<\/a> over regulatory grounds. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
