Maersk, the world's largest freight shipping line, has announced a $1.31 billion loss, its first in 106 years of trading. The loss is more astonishing as it comes after a profit in 2008 of $3.33 billion. The company blames the combination of unprecedented low demand and low rates.

Over the last decade, the company invested in new ships, as did many of its competitors, and this has led to a global surplus of capacity. Maersk reacted to the oversupply by laying up ships, reducing staff and cutting costs across the company. Freight analysts expect some improvement in volume and in rates, but only low single digits. This may not be enough to get Maersk back into the black without further cost cutting measures.
