Atlas Suspends Sale Of Mærsk A/S

Due to a cease-and-desist request received from Patrade A/S, legal representatives of A.P. Møller – Mærsk A/S, Atlas must cease sale of all products using the Maersk Logo and name and remove all references to Maersk from our website. We no longer have these items in our inventory and have already removed them from our website. We are required by Patrade A/S to request that all Atlas distributors and dealers also cease sale of these products and specifically remove them from your website and online stores. We apologize for the inconvenience that this may cause. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

The list of items affected by this C&D notice are as follows:

In addition to the above, the Maersk Limited Edition Fantasy scheme HO SD-26 locomotives, items 10 003 734/10 003 762, will be held upon arrival pending approval from Maersk. Maersk HO 48’ Well Cars, items 20 005 998 through 20 006 001 have been canceled and will not be produced at this time. Further updates will be provided as new information becomes available.

We are hopeful that this measure will only be temporary as we are attempting to obtain a license from Maersk, which will allow continued production and sale of branded models.
