The closest thing Mærsk has come to the military was during the First Golf War where Mærsk provided free shipping for US military equipment. (Only fuel for the ships was paid by the US government).
The new ship, Majesty Mærks is the largest container ship afloat in the world. She is seriously huge!
10 % of all the merchant shipping in the world is controlled by Danish shipping companies and as such it is something the DRF is often involved with. Mærsk being by far the largest company in this respect.
After the death of Mærsk McKinney Møller, his daughter now has a very prominent influence in the company.

Thanks for the great pics, iceflower
And let's be a bit romantic... Notice how Frederik proud kisses Mary when she comes down to him after having delivered her speech. That's cute
You can see it in video around 0.55

Thanks for the pics and clip.
The next ship in this class of which Mærsk have ordered 20, will be named Mary Mærsk.
I noticed Mary responding to her instructions regarding throwing the bottle: "With all my might". - Okay! And she did.
I see Frederik in one of the pics is tooting the horn (or whatever you call it), I read somewhere that's a DRF tradition after naming a ship.

Ship naming
Thanks everyone for the great photos. She sure leads an interesting life.
I looked up the last time she named one of Maersks ships -The Gudrun- and at that time she had her friends Amber Petty and Hamish Campbell from Australia attend. She was also pregnant with Prince Christian that time.

It will be lovely to see Mary with Frederik at this event and hope that Christian and Isabella are there as well. Perhaps the twins are a little young for this event as yet.
