Learn how Maersk can execute a supply chain resilient to global shocks.
It’s a complex world
The global landscape has compelled businesses to focus on creating resilient supply chains that can withstand disruptions and geopolitical aftershocks. Several issues such as port congestion, environmental pressures, and trade barriers need to be tackled with strategic foresight and quick decision making.
The Asia-Pacific region, driven by rapid economic growth, requires special attention. To solve the logistics ‘Tetris’ of APAC, companies need to develop a diverse portfolio of engaged partners that can offer visibility through advanced technologies and data integration. This can help businesses leverage diversified transport options and strategic locations to optimise logistics networks.
