AP Moller - Maersk A/S dropped as much as 8.6% in Copenhagen trading, its steepest descent in about eight months, while German peer Hapag-Lloyd AG plunged as much as 14%. Large falls were also seen in Asian shares such as Cosco Shipping Holdings Co. and Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd, while ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd slid in New York premarket.

Shipping stocks in Asia slumped as news of the suspension first broke, paring gains seen over the past few weeks as industrial action neared.
