Company mission

To improve life for all by integrating the world.

Our take

Maersk is a Copenhagen-based integrated container logistics company. Originally known for its fleet of enormous ships, the company is now active in ocean and inland freight transformation and related services, including supply chain management and port operation.

Until 2022, it was the largest shipping line by container capacity, before being unseated by Mediterranean Shipping Company. This can be accounted to the recent, strategic decision to change course, shifting its focus away from shipping and toward associated but more profitable services, including air freight, trucking, and selling logistics software. This places Maersk in an exciting position for potential growth. It is now reinventing itself as a one-stop shop for every step of the supply chain.

Another key aspect of this transformation is to become net-zero by 2040. The company has a more immediate goal to ensure 30% of ocean journeys will be powered using sustainable fuels. Maersk’s decarbonisation efforts not only ensure a greener future, but a more competitive one for global trade.
