Efter 60 år: Maersk får egen shippinglicens

Efter mere end 60 års tilstedeværelse i Saudi Arabien er Maersk nu blevet tildelt sin egen driftslicens af landets havnemyndighed. Hidtil har det danske selskab drevet sine aktiviteter gennem den lokale agent Mercantile Shipping Agencies Limited (MSAL).

Maersk kan nu operere i Saudi Arabien på egen licens.

Licensen giver Maersk ret til at operere i alle landets havne og Maersk er den blot fjerde udenlandske virksomhed, der får en sådan licens. De øvrige er Barwill, Hapag-Lloyd og partneren i 2M alliancen, MSC.

“Vi har udstedt en licens til Maersk til at operere i alle ni Saudi havne. Det afspejler vores gensidige tillid mens containervolumenerne øges og Saudi Arabien udvides som regionalt logistisk knudepunkt,” siger Saad Abdul Aziz Al-Khalb, der er formand for Saudi Arabiens havnemyndighed til Arabian Business.

Landets havne oplevede i første kvartal i år en vækst i antallet af håndterede containere på godt 9 pct. i forhold til samme periode sidste år.

Maersk driver i øjeblikket ruter med anløb i havnene i Jeddah, King Abdullah, Dammam og Jubail.
