Absolute reliability in shipping is a reality with Daily Maersk. Maersk Line’s revolutionary new service on the Asia - North Europe trade lane, has shown that it can be done.
The first Daily Maersk cargo was on time in all three European ports being serviced, Felixstowe, Rotterdam and Bremerhaven.
“Maersk Line is proving that we can give customers absolute reliability. When we first started thinking about introducing Daily Maersk I did wonder whether it was going to be possible. We made it happen, and we are confident we can continue to provide outstanding service to our customers,” said Vincent Clerc, Vice President and Head of the Europe trade, Maersk Line.
Customers have also reacted very positively to the new Daily Maersk service. Absolute reliability means lower costs elsewhere:
“The fixed cargo availability will be helpful when our customers have promotional stock or even a deadline to deliver to store. With the fixed availability date and the Maersk Line transportation promise then this enables better planning and a more reliable supply chain thus enabling costs to be taken out,” said Adam Collins, Managing Director, PFE Express. PFE Express is recognised as a leading name in Freight Forwarding with over twenty years' experience as a world-wide operator. Based in the UK and operating worldwide, they are a market leader in the Far East freight trade, specialising in sea and air transportation throughout the region.
