Maersk reported a significant drop in earnings for Q1, with net profit falling to $100m, 12 times lower than the previous year. Revenue decreased by 2.6% to nearly $13bn. The company cited weaker freight rates and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East as factors affecting performance, although global container demand rose by 3% to 5%. Maersk maintained its full-year growth forecast but warned of continued volatility and oversupply in the shipping industry. The wider shipping sector is facing disruptions due to the Iran conflict, impacting costs and trade flows.
