Maersk Group started as the shipping company Dampskibsselskabet Svendborg, founded by captain Peter Mrsk-Mller and his son Arnold Peter Mller (2 October 1876–June 1965) in Svendborg, 1904. A.P. Mller had four children, two by each of his two wives Chastine Estelle Roberta Mc-Kinney and Norwegian-born Pernille Ulrikke Amalie Nielsen. A.P. Mller's second child was Arnold Mrsk McKinney Mller (13 July 1913–16 April 2012). In 1939, Mrsk Mc-Kinney Mller became a partner in the company. Following the death of A.P. Mller in June 1965, he became CEO of the company and held this post until 1993, when he was succeeded by Jess Sderberg. Beginning in 1965, Mrsk Mc-Kinney Mller also served as company chairman and did not relinquish this position until December 2003 (90 years old), when the chairmanship was taken over by Michael Pram Rasmussen. Mrsk Mc-Kinney Mller was until his death one of the "managing owners" of the company and was chairman of Odense Steel Shipyard until 2 May 2006. The meaning and origin of the Maersk Group logo P.M. Mller (1836–1927), who was a deeply religious Christian, attached a blue banner with a white seven pointed star on both sides of the black chimney on the steamship Laura when his wife recovered from illness. In a letter to his wife, P.M. Mller explained in October 1886, "The little star on the chimney is a memory of the night when I prayed for you and asked for a sign: If a star would appear in the gray and cloudy sky, it would mean that the Lord answers prayers." The same star later became the logo for the Maersk Group.本回答被提问者采纳
