New Yard at Lind After the Second World War the development of vessels tended towards larger units, especially tankers. The capacity of the yard facilities in Havnegade at the Odense Canal was limited to vessels of about 45,000 dwt, and in 1956 the Yard s managing director outlined a plan for a new yard to be located on a site with potential for unlimited expansion. In 1957-1959, at Lind on the east side of Odense Fjord, two building docks with a capacity of 200,000 dwt were constructed, together with a fitting-out berth. Among the other buildings was a welding hall which alone covered an acre and a half. The new yard facilities were inaugurated on 23 November 1959 by Prime Minister H.C. Hansen, and parallel to this production continued on the old yard in Odense, from which the last vessel was delivered in 1966. Until 1980, ship s sections were still manufactured in Havnegade. At Lind the capacity was increased in 1969 with the establishment of a dry dock, in which vessels of up to 650,000 dwt could be constructed. At the same time, a gantry crane was erected, the largest in Europe at the time. Lind s latest newbuildings, including the world s first double-hulled supertankers and a series of the world s largest container vessels, are the result of advanced production technique and the use of high-tech production equipment.

Dansk Industri Syndikat A/S In 1930 A.P. M ller acquired a shareholding in the company A/S Dansk Rekylriffel Syndikat, corresponding to 15 % of the total share capital. The Syndicate had not paid dividend to the shareholders since 1920, and A.P. M ller effected the purchase partly to help another Danish company out of a difficult situation and partly because he found it important for defence reasons that Denmark had an arms factory. The special conditions that applied to an arms factory during the war resulted in A.P. M ller withdrawing its representation from the board of directors. After the war the manufacture of civilian products, such as fuel gauges, wing pumps, motor cycles and production lathes, was pushed forward, and in 1963 the arms production was discontinued. The development of an electronics line and also of a technically revolutionary casting machine proved to be of paramount importance to the further existence of the company. The Shipping Companies acquired the controlling interest in Dansk Industri Syndikat A/S in 1959.

Moller Group. A/S Roulunds Fabriker A/S Roulunds Fabriker in Odense was founded as a ropeworks as far back as 1736, but later moved into the manufacture of conveyor belts, brake linings and tranmission belts among other things. Around 1960 the management of the factory was considering how to finance an essential reorganisation and modernisation process. It was a tempting possibility to hand over the controlling interest to the big American licencees, but A.P. M ller got wind of it and, in his own words, found it natural for the Maersk Shipping Companies to help another Danish business when as now they had the means; more large enterprises in our country ought to do the same so that foreign countries do not find it so easy to push their way in and take over Danish businesses . The Shipping Companies then acquired the majority of the shares in the company. At the end of 1961, large areas of land were bought at Hjallese, south of Odense, where construction of a new factory commenced in the spring of 1962.

M ller, jointly with Aktieselskabet Dampskibsselskabet Svendborg (the Steamship Company Svendborg) and Dampskibsselskabet af 1912 Aktieselskab (the Steamship Company of 1912), was granted a concession for exploration for and recovery of raw materials in the Danish subsoil. A.P. M ller and the Danish Oil The story about of A.P. M ller and the Danish oil falls into four phases: The first phase took place in the years 1960-1963 when A.P. M ller decided to apply for a concession for oil exploration in Denmark. The formation of Dansk Undergrunds Consortium (DUC), the establishment of Dansk Boreselskab (the present M rsk Olie og Gas AS), award of the concession and since then the extension of the concession area with the Danish North Sea shelf laid the groundwork for the further development. In the second phase from 1963-1973 the attention was increasingly directed towards the North Sea where the delimitation of the shelf area was implemented. DUC made its first discovery in the Danish sector of North Sea, and the Dan Field came onstream in the summer of 1972 . The years with high oil prices, 1973-1985, constitute the third phase where DUC implemented an extensive development of the production system on the Danish North Sea fields and entered into a major gas sales agreement with the Danish State which, on the other hand, made extensive cuts in A.P. M ller s concession. The fourth phase set in from 1985 when oil prices began to plunge.That triggered off technological innovation, which has formed the basis of the significant progress for both DUC and its operator M rsk Olie og Gas AS since then. The efforts made by the Partners in DUC since 1962 has had a positive effect on the Danish society. The activities have prepared the grounds for a new Danish industry, created jobs, made Denmark self-sufficient in oil and gas, given a positive effect on the balance of payments, resulting in billion revenues in the form of taxes and royalties to the Danish state. Besides the North Sea, M rsk Olie og Gas AS today participates in oil production in Qatar, Algeria and Kazakhstan. Exploration activities are carried out in the North Sea, North Africa, Central Asia, the Middle East and South America.

Salling A/S. Establishment of Dansk Supermarked At the death of Ferdinand Salling in 1953, his son Herman Salling took over the management of F. Salling A/S. Having finished a trip around the world to gather inspiration and new ideas, he decided to stake on department stores, stores and supermarkets by chain operation. In 1960 Jysk Supermarked was established, and the same year the first F tex store opened. F tex was a completely new type of store in Denmark and was based on the vision of being able to purchase foodstuffs, hardware and textiles under the same roof. Herman Salling aimed to gain a broad foothold in Denmark, and therefore he began the search for a partner who would be able to inject additional capital. Having negotiated with several parties, he found the right partner in 1964: Herman Salling entered into an agreement with A.P. M ller, resulting in the establishment of Dansk Supermarked A/S. Under the agreement the Maersk Shipping Companies were not to be active in the management of the new company, but they would be preferred creditors in the event of liquidation. That clause was, however, not needed. On the contrary, A.P. M ller could confirm before his death that this particular involvement in trade was running most satisfactorily.

Work Horses of the Sea In 1962 A.P. M ller and the Shipping Companies were awarded the concession for exploration for and recovery of raw materials in the Danish subsoil. Among other things, the following years activities required the establishment of a supply service between onshore and the rigs that carried out the practical exploration at sea. As is the case today, the exploration activities were handled by Dansk Undergrunds Consortium (DUC), and A.P. M ller submitted in line with other shipping companies an offer for the supply services. As A.P. M ller won the contract, a new business area was added to its activities. Today, the fleet of supply vessels that serves the offshore oil and gas industry includes more than 60 purpose-built vessels.

The First Danish Oil came to Denmark On 4 July 1972 Dansk Undergrunds Consortium (DUC) initiated the first Danish oil production. The event took place on the Dan Field, 200 km west of Esbjerg.In the presence of Minister of Commerce Erling Jensen and shipowner M rsk Mc-Kinney M ller among others, HRH Prince Henrik honoured DUC by opening the taps that allowed the oil to flow ashore. In competition with other shipping companies A.P. M ller had won a contract for transport of the crude oil from Dan, and it was thus the Danish built tanker MARIE M RSK which, on 1 August 1972, could bring the first Danish oil ashore to the Gulf refinery at Stigsn s. Nearly 12 years had passed since A.P. M ller in the national interest had undertaken a venture whose commercial possibilities at first seemed extremely limited. Having overcome many challenges and invested around half a billion Danish kroner, the Concessionaires and the DUC Partners now received the first small repayment of their efforts. Read more in A.P. M ller and the Danish Oil , which is the story about A.P. M ller s involvement in oil and gas in Denmark. Ships data Name: MARIE M RSK Type: Tanker Shipyard: Odense Steel Shipyard Ltd.
