Maersk reports strong 2025 with progress across the business

A.P. Moller – Maersk delivered a strong performance in all businesses in 2025 as volume growth, operational execution and proactive cost measures helped results reach the top-end of the financial guidance for the year.

Full-year revenue stood at USD 54.0bn (USD 55.5bn), EBITDA was USD 9.5bn (USD 12.1bn), and EBIT was USD 3.5bn (USD 6.5bn) – reaching the top-end of the financial guidance.

The Ocean business drove increased competitiveness through high asset utilisation and volumes growth in line with market at 4.9%, while profitability declined due to lower freight rates caused by supply overcapacity. The new East-West network was launched and delivered industry-leading reliability with more than 90% on-time arrivals on average and has enabled cost savings above expectations.

“We delivered a strong performance and high value for our customers in a year where supply chains and global trade continued to be reshaped by evolving geopolitics,” said Vincent Clerc, Chief Executive Officer at Maersk. “Across our operations, volumes grew and asset utilisation was very high. Our Ocean business set a new benchmark for reliability, Terminals delivered record results, and Logistics & Services continued to advance.

“The year highlighted the need to strengthen, and modernise global supply chains and critical infrastructure, further emphasising the relevance of our strategy. Our key to success remains to grow in close partnership with our customers, leveraging our unique asset footprint, and a continuous drive for operational excellence and cost discipline.”

Separately, Maersk has taken delivery this month of the 9,000 TEU ‘Tangier Mærsk’ (pictured), the first vessel in a new series of six mid‑size vessels. Later this year, an additional four ships will be delivered, with the final vessel scheduled for early 2027.
