Last year, Maersk Line merged several of its business areas and set up a regional office for the whole of Northern Europe with the head office in Göteborg – now, the company has changed its mind and will move the head office for the region to Copenhagen. The present four regions will be scaled back to two.
”This is a part of our ongoing work on developing Maersk Line. For our employees, the decision means that they will have a greater say and participate more. This will also benefit our customers”, says Tomas Dyrbye, Regional Manager for Maersk Line Northern Europe, in a press release.
As a result of the decision, the personnel in Göteborg will be reduced from 170 to 160 persons. This means that in the last 15–17 months, the company has laid off 110 people in Göteborg.
The office for Northern Europe will be merged with the office for Central Europe. The new large region will consist of the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, Russia, Finland, the Baltic States, Germany, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Switzerland, the Benelux countries and France. The region will be headed by Michael Deleuran, who has most recently been responsible for Maersk Network & Products. Tomas Dyrbye will take up the post of MD of Maersk’s subsidiary Safmarine Container Line BV.
Shipgaz has been unable to contact Tomas Dyrbye for a comment.
