WMN..Over 26,000 people are expected to be affected by Maersk’s internal reshuffling, a company spokesperson confirmed to Offshore Energy-Green Marine.

Maersk is still determining the exact number of positions that would be made redundant across the impacted locations.
As reported earlier, the Danish container shipping major plans to integrate the Safmarine brand into Maersk as part of its transformation into an integrated container transport and logistics company.
