路透社消息，达飞已就收购赫伯罗特做接触性谈判。

The world’s no. 3 container shipping line, CMA CGM of France, has made an exploratory approach to German rival Hapag-Lloyd over a possible merger as players in the sector hunt for tie-ups to beat depressed conditions, finance sources say.

“The idea which has been proposed... would be a non-cash merger,” one source said.

一个消息源表示已被提议的主意会是非现金收购。

A Hapag spokesman, asked whether such a deal had been discussed, said: “These market rumours are without substance.”

一个赫伯罗特发言人被问是否这个交易已在探讨谈判，他辟谣表示“这些市场谣言没有实质内容。"

A CMA spokesman declined to comment.

达飞发言人拒绝发表评论。

共有三个消息源表示，达飞最近已就收购赫伯罗特与马士基缩小差距做试探性接触，但被赫伯罗特主要股东拒绝，包括CSAV of Chile, Germany’s Kuehne family and HGV。

真真假假，假假真真，你怎么看？

剧情是否似曾相识？以事实或官方最终官宣为准。

油价上涨，市场运价疲软，今年6月29日，赫伯罗特宣布，由于运营成本压力过大，下调集团2018年盈利预期，当天股价下跌20%左右，传闻也就此更甚嚣尘上。

包括马士基也加入绯闻队伍。
