Maersk makes money by moving millions of giant metal containers across the ocean on their massive ships. They give the world’s biggest brands a way to move products from factories in Asia to stores in Europe and America. They stay on top by owning the biggest ships and the best ports in the world. Their secret is that they own the “highway” of global trade; if you want to move goods across the sea, you almost always have to use a Maersk ship or a Maersk port. They use Capital Leverage to run an Infrastructure model through global shipping lanes.
