Overcoming the challenges of the tech industry in Europe
After the disruptions caused by the pandemic, the technology industry was expected to regulate itself. But with new challenges such as the war in Ukraine bringing enormous economic turbulence, the market is still suffering from 5 unforeseen factors - inflation, labour unrest, energy shortage, geopolitical uncertainty and extreme weather.
Read on to find out how the Technology industry is reacting to these challenges and leveraging inland solutions to overcome supply chain disruptions.
Four ways to reduce the GHG footprint of your inland supply chain
Businesses in Europe are under pressure to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 55% by 2030. This is just the beginning. By 2050, the long-term objective is to achieve "climate neutrality". To achieve these ambitious goals, the race is on to discover strategies that cut GHG emissions coming from supply chains, especially from inland transportation.
Read our article to find four strategic ways to reduce your inland supply chain's GHG emissions.
Unlock the Middle Corridor to reach your destinations
Considering the challenges caused by disruptions in trade lanes between Asia and Europe, businesses are looking for alternative routes and ways to move their cargo. One such route that’s growing in popularity is the Middle Corridor, or the shortest route from China’s Pacific coast to Europe. Placed strategically at the centre of this is Kazakhstan, the largest landlocked country in the world, with the potential to connect the two regions efficiently.
Find out how you can get shorter transit times by going beyond ocean in Kazakhstan with electrified cross-border rail transport.
Decarbonising road transport in Germany
There is a pressing need across the world for the logistics industry to address the decarbonisation of supply chains. In Europe, we see rising customer demand for end-to-end transportation solutions with reduced GHG emissions. That’s why Maersk has invested in 25 Volvo electric trucks for road transportation in Germany.
Electrifying rail in Spain
Currently, about 35% of railway lines in Spain run on fossil fuels, contributing to overall supply chain GHG emissions. With the effect of climate change becoming more apparent each day, it’s essential to find alternative fuels and logistics solutions to reduce GHG emissions. That's why Maersk has partnered with Renfe and Cepsa to decarbonise inland logistics in the region.

Bridge the distance between Morocco and Europe
Recent research indicates that 64% of European companies altered material sourcing due to supply chain disruptions. Morocco is now a preferred alternative, thanks to its strategic North African location and diverse export goods. Enhancing connectivity is crucial.
Maersk's Morocco Bridge integrates ocean, rail, and truck transport, providing a thrice-weekly cargo route from Tangier to Algeciras, extending into Europe with multimodal solutions. This streamlined approach reduces congestion without compromising speed to market.
