A.P. Moller - Maersk has entered into an agreement to sell Maersk Training and its subsidiary Maersk H2S Safety Services to Open Gate Capital, an industrial, corporate carve-out specialist.

We believe this transaction will enable Maersk Training to continue developing under an owner with training, safety and competency solutions as a key focus area, creating new opportunities for customers, employees and the business alike," said Katharina Poehlmann, Head of Strategy at A.P. Moller - Maersk and Chairwoman of Maersk Training.
