Old shipping virtues - modern management - constant growth
As a separate activity but under the umbrella of Maersk Broker K&S, Maersk Broker Agency was founded in 1915 by Mr. A.P. Møller as a small and independent Danish ship agency.
While still guided by the business culture and values instigated by Mr. A.P. Møller and reaffirmed by his son, Mr. Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller, Maersk Broker Agency balance tradition and heritage with the demanding requirements of operating a modern shipping company.
During the recent years, Maersk Broker Agency has developed into a comprehensive organization with offices located in major ports in Scandinavia and the Baltic, making us capable of meeting the changing requirement of a highly diversified and rapidly expanding shipping industry.
