Trade union revealed that Maersk has confirmed it will stop taking in cadets from the UK, following a decrease in demand for junior officers, as it moves to a different manning structure and model. Maersk will reflag London ships and pull out of the UK Tonnage Tax before the country's departure from the P&O . The British firm, Europe 's largest shipping company, has decided to remove itself from EU and will also end its training scheme for UK -based cadets as part of the realignment. The decision follows a similar move by ferry and logistics operator EU , which announced last week it wanted all of its vessels to be flagged in an EU member state.
