February 12, 2018 at 5:49 pmI believe it is utmost important that the Hamburg Sud brand is kept untouched for a smooth transition. Maersk brand should stay in the east-west tradelanes. Hamburg Sud is still performing as a ‘family’ (Oetker) and should remain so for optimal benefit. Maersk history is a similar one (Moller) which should not be forgotten. Not everyone is delighted to see the lightblue grown big.
