Maersk is a global conglomerate and will remain to be so, despite the divestments of Dansk Supermarked and Danske Bank, and in spite of the considerations of further divestments, emphasized Chairman of the Board, Michael Pram Rasmussen, in his speech at the group's general assembly in Copenhagen Monday morning.

Yes, we are a Conglomerate. We have simply adjusted our portfolio so that we have an even better opportunity to focus our efforts on the parts of the Group that make up our core business," said Michael Pram Rasmussen, who pointed to spreading risk as one of the significant explanations for the conglomerate's strength.
