Maersk: 50 Years in Container Shipping!

08.09.2025

On September 5, 1975, Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller launched the company’s first container service from the US East Coast to Asia — marking the Danish giant’s entry into a new sector, albeit later than its rivals.

While Maersk could have joined container shipping back in the 1960s, it initially chose to diversify into aviation, oil, and gas. But by the early 1970s it became clear: containerization was reshaping global trade and could no longer be ignored.

In 1973, Maersk ordered nine containerships, and by August 1975 its first vessel — Adrian Maersk, with a capacity of 1,800 TEU — was delivered.

By 1985, the company had become the world’s third-largest carrier, and today Maersk stands as the second-largest container line worldwide.

Half a century of history — and this is only the beginning!

South Korea and the Northern Sea Route

27.08.2025

Seoul plans to use the Northern Sea Route (NSR) via Russian territory. Pilot shipments are expected to begin in 2026, and in 2025 the government will establish a dedicated task force to develop the Arctic route.

President Lee Jae-myung sees the NSR as an alternative to the Suez and Panama canals and aims to transform the South Korean ports of Busan and Ulsan into hubs of Arctic trade.

The main competitor is China, where Shanghai is already emerging as an Arctic hub. Despite currently modest cargo volumes (mainly Russian oil and gas exports), experts predict the route’s significance will grow rapidly.

The creation of an NSR economic zone in South Korea’s southern regions is expected to give a new boost to port development.

A sea container is a universal cargo unit with standard dimensions. A container is the most common and practical transport unit in multimodal shipments.
