In addition, three of Maersk’s regional carrier brands, including MCC Transport, Sealand and Seago Line will go to market as ‘SeaLand – A Maersk Company’ as of October 1st, 2018.
Mr. Skou added that the above integration is a big milestone for Maersk, as the company will now be able to reach into markets covering the whole journey from producer to consumer.
The aim of the restructure is to ensure an improved customer experience with less touchpoints and a more comprehensive service offering.
