Businesses are diversifying suppliers, optimizing inventory management and exploring nearshoring or nearsourcing to enhance resilience. Segmenting supply chains and considering multi-modal transportation options are also prioritized to increase flexibility.
Maintaining cost-effectiveness while building resilience is essential. Maersk’s approach ensures that businesses meet customer expectations and maintain operational efficiency. This investment in resilience helps businesses stay competitive by enabling faster reactions to disruptions.
Maersk is also updating its contracting models to offer guaranteed, market-relevant rates. This provides businesses with stability in volatile market conditions, ensuring smooth logistics operations.
In the Asia-Pacific region, lead logistics providers (LLPs) are becoming key partners.
