Mærsk expects freight prices to fall – share price collapses. The detours due to the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea will probably only increase shipping companies' freight rates in the short term.
When presenting its own annual balance sheet, Mær's warns of falling prices and overcapacity - with consequences. The company had already warned in November that demand would remain weak until 2026. That's why management wants to cut 10,000 jobs. The shares of German competitor Hapag-Lloyd fell by almost eleven percent.
