Maersk Line, the container shipping unit in the A.P. Moller-Maersk (APM) group of Copenhagen,  has said that it would send more vessels and that they will be larger than those that have passed so far through the expanded Panama Canal, which opened for business yesterday.

The company expects its vessels to make more than 400 transits this year, an increase from 313 in 2015 and 268 in 2014. The fees the company will pay for the passages should raise to more than USD100 million this year from US80 million last year and USD62 million in 2014.
