Maersk increases revenue by 2.8% and raises financial guidance despite uncertain environment

By Naucher

AP Moller – Maersk A/S (Maersk) delivered strong second-quarter results, with revenue growth of 2.8% and a profit of USD 845 million. Although a sequential decline, Maersk’s results were in line with the prior year, despite significant geopolitical uncertainty and continued rate pressure. Performance was driven by continued strong results in terminals, volume growth in ocean, and increased profitability in logistics and services, and was further supported by ongoing operational improvements and cost discipline across all business segments. Given more resilient market demand outside of North America, Maersk raises its full-year 2025 financial guidance.

Maersk CEO Vincent Clerc comments, “We have had a strong first half, driven by the consistent implementation of our operational improvement plans and the successful launch of the Gemini partnership. Our new East-West network is raising the bar for reliability and setting new standards in the industry. It has been a key driver of increased volumes and strong execution in our ocean business. Despite market volatility and historic uncertainty in global trade, demand has remained resilient, and we have continued to respond quickly and flexibly. As our customers navigate these complex challenges, we remain committed to helping them build stronger and more adaptable supply chains, ensuring they are prepared not only to weather disruptions but also to grow through them.”
