MAERSK AND PAKISTAN A SAGA OF STACKING AND STALKING A.P. Moller was born Arnold Peter Moller in 1876 son of Peter Maersk Moller. And so was the birth year of our beloved Quaid. Capt. Arnold founded A.P. Moller-Maersk Group in 1904. The same year foregrounds at our Subcontinent harvested which later emerged in the form of A.I. Muslim League in 1906. In 1940 this part of the globe passed Pakistan Resolution. In the very same year A.P. Moller ordered his ships to disobey the occupied Danish government. The Group started shipbuilding program in 1947 when Pakistan came in to being. A.P. Moller died in 1965; the year we witnessed a 17 day Indo-Pak faceoff. The Group launched its biggest ship in 1971 when we plunged in to war yet again. New company headquarters were built in April 1979 and our nation saw a dangling hangman’s noose with an idealist’s neck in it. Maersk reflagged ships and opened up container factories in 1988. And the same year some airborne containers were said to have blown an unfortunate plane. To this date, the entire episode remains stacked on to some horrendous plinths of the unresolved mysteries. In 1999 Maersk took control of Safmarine and quite a number of assets of the chartered Sealand ships as if some sort of an ambush or perhaps bush war. And so did an Army General of Pakistan. And the story embarks the year 2014. Watch some 2014 aerial views. We seem to be having more container terminals than anywhere else in the entire world. Mostly on ill-defined places, if you like. Peaceful residential areas are no exceptions. There’s not a single country in the whole wide world where an ordinary citizen can tell a dry forty feet HC container from an ordinary candy box as much as a Pakistani so confidently may in a jiffy. Seeing that some of the empty boxes are not being repositioned positively on time and ever agape market, stringent measures had to be taken by Maersk. Maersk launched its $185M worth Triple E class container vessels. What if they build them? Or move them, so can we. We use them as barriers. As some campaign tool! Can they? Or else, we can stand tall atop and deliver speeches, can’t we?
