An aerial view of the Dundalk Marine Terminal October 03, 2024 in Baltimore, Maryland. Shares of Moller-Maersk slumped more than 8% on the Friday market open as European shipping companies fell on the conclusion of a U.S. port strike. A prolonged strike would have provided a boost for European shippers to take a larger share of global supply chain demands. Maersk shares pared losses slightly to trade down 7.05% by 9:05 a.m. London time. Thursday's deal ended a strike that had choked U.S. East Coast and Gulf Coast ports since the start of the week and threatened U.S. supply of fruits, pharmaceuticals and automobiles, among other goods.
