Maersk CEO: Listing of Energy Unit Most Likely

A. P. Moller-Maersk's Chief Executive Soren Skou sees a listing of the company's energy unit as the more likely option, he said in an interview with Bloomberg.

He said that the company was still working on finding solutions for the energy unit and is looking at all options but that a stock exchange listing of the unit is probably "the more likely option".

Skou replied "yes" when asked if a stock market listing looked as if it would make the most sense at the moment.

Maersk, the world's biggest container shipper, said in September it would give itself two years to consider options for its energy operations in the form of "joint ventures, mergers or listing".
