Indian regulators have launched a probe into allegations that the AP Moller-Maersk units have been using their “influence” to force Indian shippers to use container facilities at Gujarat Pipavav Port (GPPL).

Shippers claim the Danish group’s container shipping divisions, Safmarine and Maersk, have agreed to only provide shipping services in Gujarat state via GPPL facilities operated and part-owned by APM Terminals, also part of the AP Moller-Maersk group, reports London’s International Freighting Weekly.
