European Union antitrust regulators have approved an alliance planned by AP Moller-Maersk and Japan's largest shipper Nippon Yusen Kaisha 9101.T aimed at tackling excess capacity.

The companies agreed to pool about 250 ships which will operate on three trade routes, Asia-Europe, trans-Pacific and trans-Atlantic in order to cut costs.
