Danish shipping and oil group A.P. Moller-Maersk has suspended its Egypt port terminal operations and closed its shipping offices in the country rocked by turmoil.

The group's activities in Egypt include the Suez Canal Container Terminal at Port Said, the Egyptian Drilling Company -- a 50/50 joint-venture with the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation -- and shipping and logistics companies Maersk Line, Safmarine and Damco.

"There are no terminal operations in Egypt and Maersk Line, Safmarine and Damco offices are closed," A.P. Moller-Maersk said in a statement. (Reuters)
