Danish shipping and oil group AP Moller-Maersk said 10 February 2016 its full-year 2015 net profit plunged 82 per cent due to lower freight rates and oil prices and writedowns of oil assets. The net profit of 925 million dollars compared with 5.2 billion dollars in 2014. The 2014 results were affected by gains from sales of stakes in a supermarket group and other assets. Turnover in 2015 declined 7.4 billion dollars year-on-year to 40.3 billion dollars. The group that operates Maersk Line, the world’s biggest container shipper, said average freight rates dropped during the year.
