Bolloré (FR0000039299) is reshaping its long-term profile after exiting most of its logistics activities and focusing more tightly on transport, communications and electricity storage.

Møller-Mærsk on the Copenhagen exchange and CMA CGM in Marseille, according to recent sector commentary from Paris.
