Maersk looks to provide end-to-end supply chain services in India
DENMARK's Maersk Line plans to expand its offerings on the Indian Subcontinent to become an end-to-end supply chain services provider.
"One noticeable change we have already seen in India is that we are closely working with our customers to execute more and more of the supply chain," Maersk's managing director in India, Steve Felder, told the Economic Times in an interview.
Those services would include more bundled road and railway legs that would be outsourced to third-party service providers, Mr Felder was cited as telling the newspaper, reported American Shipper.
The move to be seen as a more end-to-end service provider is in line with parent company AP Moller-Maersk's focus on becoming an integrated global transportation services company. Maersk Group chief executive officer Soren Skou unveiled a plan last year to more tightly integrate the conglomerate's liner, port terminal, and freight forwarding businesses.
"Instead of just doing a port to port business, Maersk is going the extra mile in delivering to inland container depots or even the customers' premises," Mr Felder added.
