The Shipping Company took delivery of the vessel on 11th March, and the "MC-KINNEY MÆRSK" has now gone into 's liner service between Northern Europe and the Far East via the east and west coasts of the USA. The "MC-KINNEY MÆRSK" has her home port in Skovshoved and is under the command of Captain Niels Beyer Nielsen with Henrik Rosholm Poulsen as Chief Engineer.

Furthermore, Maersk Air's new and operationally-economical Boe- ing aircraft is a watchword, not only on the passenger side, but also regarding air freight both at present and in the future.

Maersk Air Cargo sells only capacity in the aircraft - it does not issue airway bills, but receives and distributes freight from 180 shipping offices in the Nordic countries via Cargo Center Copenhagen A/S. Maersk Air was one of the original promoters of the centre and is now a sha- reholder. Maersk Air Cargo likes to describe itself as a kind of stock exchange within the air freight industry. In principle, there are never two identical contracts when the Cargo Department forwards consign- ments by air. The basic idea is that a pro- duct is sold best by making individual contracts.

Top service The primary consideration in Maersk Air Cargo's sales initiatives is Maersk Air, followed by equal consideration of the companies for which the department works on a commission basis. But the sa- les argument is the high level of service. There is a great deal of travelling invol- ved, as the department is not only a do- mestic sales agent, but also covers the Nordic countries. Maersk Air Cargo is a great believer in the value of "the visibility factor", so the travelling sales consultants are seldom at

On the afternoon of Thursday, 21 st March 1991. the oil began from Denmark's flowing from the two horizontal wells in the new oilfield. The start of production marked at the same time the debut of an entirely new Danish type of platform, the fifth oilfield STAR platform. This platform type was developed by Mærsk Olie og Gas and was built at the EOS shipyard in . The three partners in DUC, A.R Møller, Shell and Texaco have invested a total of DKK 450 million in the development of the Kraka Field. The oil produced from the Kraka Field is sent from the unmanned platform through a 5 1/2 mile long 10-inch pipeline to the Dan Field, to be processed at the central processing plant. The new plat- form's operations are monitored from the control room at the Dan Field. The oil in the Kraka Field is contained in tight layers of chalk, which means that production conditions are poor. This is one of the reasons that development of the field has taken so long. However, the development of the horizontal drilling technique in recent years and the intro- duction of the STAR platform have made it possible for production to be started up. The field was actually discovered when DUC carried out the very first explo- ration drillings offshore which also re- sulted in the first oil find in the North Sea. The drilling "Dansk Nordsø A-l" took place in 1966. The structure was given the name Anne, and when in 1986 DUC, after having put several other fields into production, sub- mitted the development plan for the field, the future oilfield got its royal name Kraka after the wife of the Viking King, Regnar Lodbrog. Mærsk Olie og Gas AS has further devel- oped the horizontal drilling technique in the Dan Field, where it has turned out that by combining different techniques, an increased degree of recovery from the intractable chalk layers is possible. Hori- zontal drilling operations have conse- quently made it possible to produce approximately 10% of the oil estimated to be present in the geological structure. Previously it was believed that only 5-8 percent could be recovered. The horizontal drilling technique has therefore been a decisive factor for the ex- pansion of the new oil field.

Kraka is Denmark's fifth oil field in the North Sea. In the background (5 1/2 miles to the north), you can glimpse the Dan Field's platforms, where the oil from the Kraka Field is processed.

On consecutive trips, Svitzer work out a schedule where one or more of the barges can be served by one tug, so crew and machinery can achieve high productivity through continuous operations, concur- rent with one or more barges being loaded or discharged. The tug may carry out other works if a contract only requires one barge. The three tugboats, together with Svitzer's other towing vessels, comprise the flexible fleet which is occupied on a daily basis with towing operations in Danish ports, transportation jobs using flat-top barges and assistance in cable- laying as well as carrying out of tra- ditional towing jobs and salvage ope- rations.
