Top 20 carriers: a turning point

摘要

Maersk is still the largest global container carrier, with a current fleet of 4.14M TEU and a 17.9% share of the world's global container fleet. It is strengthening its business by transforming itself from a conglomerate to a global integrator of container logistics, providing customers with end-to-end supply chain solutions. This involves integrating its container, port and logistics businesses to operate as one company. According to Maersk's 2018 'message from the CEO', 2019 will be the "year of accelerating our transformation". Steps to achieve this include: Damco's Supply Chain Services (now known as Logistics & Services) and Maersk Line's Ocean sector have become integrated, the integration of Hamburg Sued, and the separation of Maersk Oil and Maersk Tankers. Also key is customer experience and digitalisation. Maersk has become the first container shipping company to offer digital ocean customs clearance with the launch of an online platform. Maersk launched its Customs Clearance online shipping management platform in May 2019.
