Byline: Line remains tight-lipped on offer details, writes Janet Porter

CP Ships ended weeks of speculation about its future on Friday afternoon by confirming that it was in discussions 'regarding a possible transaction'.

A brief statement followed an article in Friday's Financial Times that named both China Shipping and CMA CGM as the two leading bidders.

However, CMA CGM issued a formal denial to Lloyd's List late Friday.

'We are not in talks with CP Ships,' a spokesman said.

CP Ships' share price has climbed in recent days as takeover speculation grew, with market capitalisation now around C$1.9bn (US$1.5bn).
