For container terminals operated under certain restrictive
price and service conditions, etc., concessional rights to
collect usage charges are included under intangible assets.
The cost includes the present value of minimum payments
under concession agreements and the cost of property,
plant and equipment constructed on behalf of a grantor
of a concession. The rights are amortised from the com-
mencement of operations over the concession period.
Property, plant and equipment are valued at cost less ac-
cumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Deprecia-
tion is charged to the income statement on a straight-line
basis over the useful lives at an estimated residual value.
The useful lives of new assets are typically as follows:
Ships, etc.
20-25 years
Containers, etc.
Buildings
12 years
10-50 years
Terminal infrastructure
Plant and machinery, cranes
and other terminal equipment
Other operating equipment,
fixtures, etc.
10-20 years or
concession period,
if shorter
5-20 years
3-7 years
Estimated useful lives and residual values are reassessed
on a regular basis.
The cost of an asset is divided into separate components,
which are depreciated separately if the useful lives of the
individual components differ. Dry-docking costs are recog-
nised in the carrying amount of ships when incurred and
depreciated over the period until the next dry-docking.
The cost of assets constructed by A.P. Moller-Maersk
includes directly attributable expenses. For assets with
a long construction period, borrowing costs during the
construction period from specific as well as general
borrowings are attributed to cost. In addition, the cost
includes the net present value of estimated costs of re-
moval and restoration.
Right-of-use assets: The Group mainly leases vessels, con-
tainers, concessions arrangements and real estate prop-
erty. Lease contracts for vessels and containers are typ-
ically made for fixed periods of about five years but may
have extension options as described below. Concession
arrangements and real estate contracts are negotiated on
an individual basis and contain a wide range of terms and
conditions.
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset with a cor-
responding leases liability at the date on which the leased
asset is available for use by the Group. The right-of-use
asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful
life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Intercompany leases will continue to be presented ac-
cording to IFRS 8 - Segment Reporting, as operating
leases in accordance with the old lease standard, IAS 17.
Impairment losses are recognised when the carrying
amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds the
higher of the estimated value in use and fair value less
costs of disposal. Goodwill is attributed to cash-generat-
ing units on acquisition and impaired before other assets.
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are
tested for impairment if there is an indication of impair-
ment. However, annual impairment tests are carried out
for goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives as well as intangible assets that are not yet
in use.
Assets are held for sale, when the carrying amount of an
individual non-current asset, or disposal groups, will be re-
covered principally through a sale transaction rather than
through continuing use. Assets are classified as held for
sale when activities to carry out a sale have been initiated,
when the activities are available for immediate sale in their
present condition, and when the activities are expected to
be disposed of within 12 months. Liabilities directly asso-
ciated with assets held for sale are presented separately
from other liabilities.
Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of car-
rying amount immediately before classification as held
for sale and fair value less costs to sell, and impairment
tests are performed immediately before classification
as held for sale. Non-current assets are not depreciated
or amortised while classified as held for sale. Measure-
ment of deferred tax and financial assets and liabilities
is unchanged.
Investments in associated companies and joint ventures are
recognised as A.P. Moller - Maersk's share of the equity
value inclusive of goodwill less any impairment losses.
Goodwill is an integral part of the value of associated
companies and joint ventures and is therefore subject
to an impairment test together with the investment as a
whole. Impairment losses are reversed to the extent the
original value is considered recoverable.
Equity instruments, etc., including shares, bonds and sim-
ilar securities, are recognised on the trading date at fair
value, and subsequently measured at the quoted market
price for listed securities and at estimated fair value for
non-listed securities. Fair value adjustments from equity
investments at fair value through other comprehensive
income (FVOCI) remain in equity upon disposal. Dividends
are recognised in the income statement.
Inventories mainly consist of bunker, containers (manu-
facturing), spare parts not qualifying for property, plant
and equipment, and other consumables. Inventories are
measured at cost, primarily according to the FIFO method.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes
direct and indirect production costs.
Loans and receivables are initially recognised at fair value,
plus any direct transaction costs, and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method. For loans and other receivables, write-down is
made for anticipated losses based on specific individual
or group assessments. For trade receivables, the loss al-
lowance is measured in accordance with IFRS 9 applying
a provision matrix to calculate the minimum impairment.
The provision matrix includes an impairment for non-due
receivables.
Equity includes total comprehensive income for the year
comprising the profit/loss for the year and other com-
prehensive income. Proceeds on the purchase and sale of
own shares and dividend from such shares are recognised
in equity.
The translation reserve comprises A.P. Moller-Maersk's
share of accumulated exchange rate differences arising
on translation from functional currency into presentation
currency. The reserve for other equity investments com-
prises accumulated changes in the fair value of equity
investments (at FVOCI), net of tax. Reserve for hedges
includes the accumulated fair value of derivatives qualify-
ing for cash flow hedge accounting, net of tax, as well as
forward points and currency basis spread.
Equity-settled restricted shares and share options allocated
to the executive employees of A.P. Moller - Maersk as part
of A.P. Moller Maersk's long-term incentive programme
are recognised as staff costs over the vesting period at
estimated fair value at the grant date and a corresponding
adjustment in equity. Cash-settled performance awards
allocated to employees below executive levels as part of
A.P. Moller Maersk's long-term incentive programme are
recognised as staff costs over the vesting period and a
corresponding adjustment in other payables.
At the end of each reporting period, A.P. Moller - Maersk
revises its estimates of the number of awards that are
expected to vest based on the non-market vesting condi-
tions and service conditions. Any impact of the revision is
recognised in the income statement with a corresponding
adjustment to equity and other payables.
Provisions are recognised when A.P. Moller - Maersk has a
present legal or constructive obligation from past events.
The item includes, among other things, legal disputes,
provisions for onerous contracts, unfavourable contracts
acquired as part of a business combination, as well as
provisions for incurred, but not yet reported, incidents
under certain insurance programmes, primarily in the US.
Provisions are recognised based on best estimates, and
are discounted where the time element is significant and
where the time of settlement is reasonably determinable.
Pension obligations are the net liabilities of defined ben-
efit obligations and the dedicated assets adjusted forView entire presentation
