    GOVERNMENTS no longer need to subsidise or fund international shipping, which operates in "a competitive and effective market", Maersk Line CEO Søren Skou said on Thursday.

    Mr Skou added, while addressing maritime leaders at this year's Singapore Maritime Lecture, that governments have "almost" exited container shipping on realising there is a functioning international shipping market.
