總部位于哥本哈根的Maersk供應服務公司告訴彭博新聞社，該公司將以6.85億美元的價格將Maersk供應服務公司出售給A.P. Moller Holding A/S，這家投資公司由億萬富翁Maersk家族擁有，是Maersk的一個密切相關利益實體。
該公司為海上能源部門提供服務，從錨處理到冰山轉向遠離石油平臺，該公司擁有36艘船只。該公司安裝海上風力渦輪機，并幫助即將使用壽命結束的海底能源設施退役。
這家丹麥最大的公司在2016年概述了一項歷史性的戰(zhàn)略轉變，即打破其百年歷史的集團結構，并出售其全部四大能源資產。當時，能源資產占集團收入的四分之一，占潛在利潤的四分之三以上。相反，馬士基將專注于海陸集裝箱運輸。
由于APMH是馬士基的大股東，雙方已經從DNB Bank ASA獲得了關于價格的獨立公平意見，該公司在回復問題的電子郵件中表示。該公司表示，此次出售將使馬士基完全專注于綜合物流。
Maersk之前曾接近出售Maersk供應服務。2018年，該公司預計將完成一次撤資，估值估計為6億美元，但最終未能找到買家。
馬士基供應服務公司的收入為3.9億美元，2022年息稅前收入為1600萬美元。作為新戰(zhàn)略的一部分，該部門在2021年將其車隊的價值減記了約3億美元，以專注于更適合綠色轉型的資產。
這是APMH在2017年以11.7億美元收購馬士基油輪公司后，收購馬士基四家大型能源部門中的第二家。2018年，total energy SE以約74.5億美元的股票和債務支付收購了馬士基石油公司，而馬士基鉆井公司則在2019年以約36億美元的價格在證券交易所上市。
擁有880億美元資產的APMH由Maersk創(chuàng)始人的曾孫Robert Maersk Uggla經營。去年，他成為馬士基的董事長。

Maersk Sells Last Major Energy Asset
A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S has finally found a buyer for its last major energy-division asset after putting it up for sale seven years ago, allowing it to complete a historic transformation into a pure transport operator.
It’s selling Maersk Supply Service for $685 million, based on enterprise value, to A.P. Moller Holding A/S, the investment firm owned by the billionaire Maersk family and a closely related entity of Maersk, the Copenhagen-based firm told Bloomberg News.
The company provides services for the offshore energy sector, ranging from anchor handling to redirecting icebergs away from oil platforms, with a fleet of 36 vessels. It installs offshore wind turbines and helps with decommissioning of subsea energy installations that come to the end of their lifespan.
Denmark’s biggest company outlined in 2016 a historic strategic shift to break up its century-old conglomerate structure and sell all its four big energy assets, which at the time made up one quarter of group revenue and more than three quarters of underlying profit. Instead, Maersk would focus on container transport both at sea and on land.
Since APMH is a major shareholder in Maersk, the parties have obtained an independent fairness opinion on the price from DNB Bank ASA, the company said in an emailed reply to questions. The sale will enable Maersk to focus fully on integrated logistics, it said.
Maersk has been close to selling the Maersk Supply Service before. In 2018 it expected to complete a divestment, citing valuation estimates of $600 million, but ultimately failed to find buyers.
Maersk Supply Service had revenue of $390 million and earned $16 million before interest and tax in 2022. The unit wrote down the value of its fleet by about $300 million in 2021 as part of a new strategy to focus on the assets that better fit with the green transition.
It’s the second of Maersk’s four large energy units to be bought by APMH after the investor paid $1.17 billion for Maersk Tankers in 2017. TotalEnergies SE bought Maersk Oil for about $7.45 billion in shares and debt payments in 2018 while Maersk Drilling was spun off in a stock-exchange listing for about $3.6 billion in 2019.
APMH with $88 billion of assets is run by Robert Maersk Uggla, the great-grandson of Maersk’s founder. Last year, Uggla also became the chairman of Maersk.
