Former AP Moller-Maersk boss Nils Smedegaard Andersen is among the leading investors in Carsten Mortensen’s new ship owning venture.
Andersen’s Teix Partners is joined by shipowner Global United, the Laurtizen Foundation and other big names from the Danish business world investing alongside Mortensen and partner Frederick Lee in Dee4 Capital Partners.
