Today, Maersk Group announced that in 2014 it acheived its highest ever profit, US $5.2 billion, with US $47.6 billion in revenues. The company also announced the divestment of its 20% stake in Danske, Denmark’s biggest bank, to focus on its core shipping and oil and gas divisions, a sale that would mean $6.6 in dividends for Maersk shareholders.
