Eivind Kolding height - How tall is Eivind Kolding?

Daily Maersk can be seen as part of Maersk Line’s answer to Eivind Kolding’s call for change a few months earlier.

On a press conference in London on 21 February 2011, Eivind Kolding revealed that Maersk Line had just signed a deal with Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., ordering 10 gigantic vessels to be delivered in 2013-14. Each of these vessels will be capable of carrying 18,000 twenty foot containers, making them the largest container vessels the world has ever seen.

In June 2011 Maersk Line exercised its option with Daewoo to build an additional 10 Triple-E vessels.

On 7 June 2011 Eivind Kolding addressed the container shipping and logistics industry as the keynote speaker at the TOC conference in Antwerp, Belgium. He said that the container industry might be "only a few years from being completely overtaken" by new technology, and called for radical changes in the industry to “assure itself of a license to operate in the future.”

On 12 September 2011 Eivind Kolding yet again took center stage when he revealed a new product offering by Maersk Line at a press conference in London. The product which the company has named Daily Maersk was said to be the introduction of “absolute reliability”.

On 19 December 2011 it was announced that Eivind Kolding will take over the position as CEO of Danske Bank, effective 15 February 2012. In Maersk Line, he will be replaced by Søren Skou. On 16 September 2013 he was fired immediately, and replaced by Thomas Borgen.

In 1983, he graduated as MA, Law from University of Copenhagen. He was admitted lawyer to the bar in 1986, and joined A.P. Moller in 1989. He has held positions as Managing Director of Maersk Hong Kong Ltd. and as CFO in the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group, from 1998 to 2006.
