Maersk eyes 4% market growth in 2025, uncertainty over tariffs and Red Sea
COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -Maersk on Thursday said it expects to grow its business to track an expected 4% growth in global container shipping this year, even as profits are set to decline and U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threats create uncertainty. Geopolitical developments including Trump's threats to impose tariffs on the top U.S. trading partners and access to the Red Sea shipping route will impact Maersk's revenues. The shipping giant, viewed as a barometer of world trade, had seen no changes in cargo flows due to the threats of tariffs so far, said CEO Vincent Clerc.
