Maersk to cut 10,000 jobs, sees weaker FY profit as shipping demand wanes


COPENHAGEN: Shipping group A.P. Moller-Maersk on Friday reported a steep drop in profit and revenue in the third-quarter, and said it would cut 10,000 jobs as it battles with lower freight rates and subdued demand for container shipping.

The Danish company also kept its full-year guidance for revenue and operating profit but now expects both to land at the lower end of the range.
