Discover new paths for reliable chemical logistics

The global chemical industry has shifted focus to reducing emissions for a sustainable future. At Maersk, we are committed to partnering with our chemical industry clients in achieving their sustainability goals through innovative supply chain solutions.

In one such collaboration, we equipped UPL, an Indian multinational agrochemical company, to significantly reduce their carbon footprint, waste generation and water consumption over the past few years. With a stake at both ends of the food value chain, UPL is committed to creating a sustainable agricultural network for everyone. Through Maersk ECO Delivery, we provided UPL with end-to-end integrated and sustainable logistic solutions and helped them meet their sustainability goals.

To date, the chemical industry has primarily focused on reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions – production and operation emissions directly controlled by the company. Looking forward, it is clear that the industry is shifting focus to also include Scope 3 emissions that stem from company supply chains. To create a real impact in delivering a net-zero emissions future, the need to collaborate is crucial. Only then can we streamline supply chain journeys, identify areas where carbon emissions can be curtailed, and deploy efficient and sustainable products that can make a difference.

Chemical supply chains are highly complex thus making sustainability a difficult proposition to incorporate. Maersk Emissions Dashboard is a powerful digital tool that provides emissions data visibility across all carriers and transport modes. This has helped companies like Syngenta to set science-based emissions reduction targets and execute their decarbonisation goals - to lower their Scope 3 carbon emissions.

Saudi Aramco, the world’s leading petrochemical company, have their supply chains distributed across the globe. Aramco wanted to cut through the complexity to be able to monitor their logistics seamlessly across their complete supply chain with greater control and end-to-end visibility. Their partnership with Maersk and implementation of our 4PL solution helped them to optimise inventory management across locations, gain critical business insight for faster decision making, achieve faster lead times to their key markets, and make corrective improvements with continuous performance monitoring.

The pandemic has had a long-lasting effect on petrochemical supply chains. In order to move forward and overcome the volatility of 2020, it’s important to analyse what we as an industry have learnt from the year and what we’ll need to do in 2021 and beyond.

In the webinar “Future-proofing the Petrochemical Industry,” our experts, Henning Malmgren, Director, Chemical Logistics Middle East, Henrik Wretensjoe, Product Director, Ocean Contract Lead, Chemicals, and Jeffrey Ivinski, Global Product Manager, Tradelens, discuss a whitepaper about the learnings from the pandemic, challenges and trends in 2021, and also explore our e-bill of lading offering that will help you digitise your business.
