OREANDA-NEWS The management of the Danish shipping company Maersk, which is the world's largest maritime carrier of goods, has completed the liquidation process of the Russian subsidiary Maersk LLC. This is reported by Interfax with reference to the data of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

It is noted that the Russian "daughter" of Maersk was based in St. Petersburg until recently. This company, by the decision of its founders (Maersk Line Agency Holding A/S, a division of Maersk for sea container transportation) ceased to exist on September 16, 2024.

The management of Maersk decided to liquidate the Russian subsidiary back in 2022, after the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine. The procedure was launched in November of the same year. In May 2024, the Danish shipping company resumed this process by decision of the sole shareholder dated April 10. In 2023, as it turned out, the procedure was temporarily suspended.

In addition to Maersk LLC, the Danish shipping company sold two logistics sites in Russia, located in St. Petersburg and Novorossiysk, at the beginning of last year. Their buyer was the Cypriot company IG Finance Development Limited. The deal was approved by the regulatory authorities of the European Union (EU) and the Russian Federation. The terminal in Novorossiysk covers an area of 28.75 thousand square meters and holds 1.5 thousand containers. It was noted that the amount of Maersk's investments in the St. Petersburg asset was estimated at $ 30 million.

Thus, of all the assets of the Danish company in the Russian Federation, only the Limited Liability Company (LLC) Maersk Solutions remained active. The decision to liquidate this "daughter", adopted in the fall of 2022, was canceled in October 2023. According to the data of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities as of September 20, 2024, the status of a legal entity in the file is "active".
