Copenhagen/Nuuk, Greenland  - Voters in Greenland, the world's largest island, are widely expected to approve a plan to gain more autonomy within Denmark in a referendum on Tuesday.

The Arctic island has had home-rule since 1979, and under the new terms Greenland aims to secure partial control over its natural resources and take greater charge of justice and legal affairs.

"We know Greenland has big resources," economics professor Christen Sorensen of the University of Southern Denmark and an expert on Greenland's economy said.

Copenhagen - Danish shipping giant AP Moller-Maersk said Friday that some of its slower vessels or ones that sail low in the water will stop using the Gulf of Aden over fears of piracy near the Somalian coast.

The company said the vessels would use alternate routes along the south of the Cape of Good Hope and east of Madagascar.

"The policy change will primarily impact our tanker vessels. Only three container vessels will be affected," board member Soren Skou said in statement.

AP Moller-Maersk said the piracy and recent hijackings posed a threat to international trade lanes and should be tackled by "relevant authorities and the international community."

Copenhagen - Overnight talks appear to have salvaged an attempt to sell off bankrupt low-cost carrier Sterling Airlines, liquidators and unions said Wednesday.

The news came after liquidators on Tuesday afternoon said they had ditched an attempt to sell the Danish-based Sterling Airlines as a single entity over union opposition.

However, talks resumed later and have breathed new life into the efforts to save 430 jobs, a third of Sterling's staff of some 1,100 employees.

Copenhagen - Attempts to sell off bankrupt low-cost carrier Sterling Airlines as a single entity have been ditched, liquidators said Tuesday.

Danish-based Sterling Airlines filed for bankruptcy on October 29, saying it had been impacted by the global recession and "significant fuel cost increases."

Liquidators cited opposition from the Danish Federation of Salaried Employees in Service Trades for giving up the attempt.
