  • Maersk Line and the Future of Container Shipping
    9-712-449 REV: JUNE 1, 2012 FOREST L. REINHARDT RAMON CASADESUS - MASANELL FREDERIK NELLEMANN Maersk Line and the Future of Container Shipping There is a difference between just moving a container and moving it in the most sustainable, easy, and reliable way. And that difference is worth something to our customers. — Morten Engelstoft, Chief Operating Officer, Maersk Line, 2012 It was a cold February afternoon in 2012 as Søren Skou looked out the window of his office across the Copenhagen waterfront. Skou had just recently been promoted to become CEO of Maersk Line, the world’s largest container shipping company, and the flagship company of the Danish conglomerate A.P. Moller-Maersk Group. He was taking the reins at a difficult time: the sluggish global economy had severely depressed container rates, while fuel prices were still at record levels. On some trade routes, the company—like its competitors—wasn’t even meeting the costs of deploying its large and expensive container ships. Skou was confident that the company would pull through. After all, it had recently completed a successful turnaround following the Maersk Line’s first ever annual loss in 2009 and the Group benefited from a diverse holding of activities, which included an oil and gas business. However, Skou needed to assess whether Maersk Line was headed in the right direction, both to be able to compete in this slower market but also once the economy, and global trade, picked up. In 2010 the company had decided to focus on three differentiators to help it maintain its position as the global leader: reliability, ease-of-doing business, and environmental performance.

  • Aktiekommentar Novozymes
    Aktiekommentar Novozymes Sælg Novozymes står på dørtærsklen til et kommercielt Uændret gennembrud i 2G-biobrændstofindustrien Aktuel kurs: 216,30 DKK Begivenhed: Vi fastholder Sælg-anbefalingen på Novozymes. Værdiansættelsen af Novozy- mes-aktien indregner efter vores vurdering allerede store forventninger til Novo- zymes’ fremtidige salg og indtjening fra 2G-biobrændstofenzymer. 2G-industrien Optakt til kapitalmar- er dog i sin spæde opstartsfase. Der er fortsat stor usikkerhed forbundet med kedsdag hvilke teknologiske løsninger, der vil blive markedsledende. Vi forventer dog, at Novozymes vil få en betydelig markedsposition som leverandør til 2G-industrien. Baggrund: Novozymes afholder kapitalmarkedsdag den 31. oktober 2013. Det overordnende tema for dagen er anden generations biobrændstof (2G) og mulighederne for Novozymes i denne indu- stri. Verdens første kommercielle 2G-bioethanolproduktion er for nylig startet op i Cresentino i Italien med Novozymes som enzymleverandør. Produktionsanlægget er opført af italienske Beta Renewables, som Novozymes ejer 10% af. Konklusion: På kapitalmarkedsdagen vil vi have fokus på følgende punkter: - Produktionsøkonomien på det italienske 2G-anlæg – er det kommercielt konkurren- cedygtigt? - Statusopdatering på Novozymes’ globale partnerskabsaftaler – tidshorisont for kom- merciel 2G-produktion på forskellige markeder - Novozymes/Beta Renewables styrker i forhold til konkurrerende teknologier Vi forventer, at Novozymes i 2015 kan opnå et globalt enzymsalg til 2G- biobrændstofsproduktion på 213 mio. kr. stigende til 2.166 mio. kr. i 2020. Vi forventer, at Ki- na og Brasilien vil agere vækstmotor for udviklingen af 2G-industrien, mens vi først forventer, at udviklingen i USA kommer op i tempo efter 2015. Det er efter vores vurdering helt centralt, at Novozymes har indgået et samarbejde med itali- enske Beta Renewables.
