THE FOUNDING FAMILY Five generations of owners embracing entrepreneurship and values based ownership The founding family of the A.P.

From general cargo to containers, tankers and a broad range of marine service vessels. From tramp shipping to also liner shipping. From port to port transportation to point to point logistics and digital platforms. Peter Mærsk Møller (1836-1927) A captain, who spent most of his career at sailing ships. Peter Mærsk Møller moved into steamships in 1886 and acquired part ownership in SS Laura – a pivotal decision for the future of his family. Arnold Peter Møller (1876-1965) The founder of the A.P. Moller Group – together with his father – initially in shipping, but soon expanding into other industries. A.P. Møller established today’s long-term ownership structure.

Two decades later, Peter Mærsk Møller supported his son Arnold Peter Møller to establish the Steamship Company Svendborg, the forerunner of our Group. Our history is a story of global entrepreneurship, constant care and societal engagement.

MØLLER HOUSE The corporate home of A.P. Moller Holding Esplanaden 19 was built in 1873 to accommodate the Royal Danish Nautical Chart Archives. In 1992, our Group purchased the building and, over the years, a number of Maersk entities have occupied the house. In 2019, A.P. Moller Holding moved in and named the building ‘A.P. Møller House’ after our founder A.P. Møller (1876-1965). By then, the building had undergone extensive renovation to create a welcoming and dynamic work environment with functional facilities. The art, furniture and interior were carefully selected to reflect our heritage and values. The renowned Swedish painter Mamma Andersson has created an in situ work of art especially for the atrium. The wall painting measures 12x4 metres and wraps the atrium in a dreamlike landscape inspired by Nordic nature and light. A.P. Møller House is located next to the A.P. Moller Foundations and A.P. Moller - Maersk, creating a corporate campus for many of our Group’s activities. READ BROCHURE ABOUT A.P.
