Maersk Line and Damco to merge in 2019

A.P. Moller-Maersk has announced that it will merge Damco Supply Chain Services and Maersk Line’s Ocean Product.  The company said that this will enhance the customer experience by ensuring fewer touchpoints and a more comprehensive service offering. The operator of Maersk Line, the world’s largest container shipping company, has been restructuring the business over the past several years, to renew its focus on supply chain service offerings. “Today we are taking further steps in the transformation of our business on a structural level and how we go to market, enabling us to offer more solutions to our customers in a simpler way,” said Søren Skou, CEO of A.P. Moller-Maersk.
"Our employees play a key role in making this happen and therefore we are at the same time empowering our frontline organization who is closest to our customers.”
