A promising beginning

Disruptions are a constant in the logistics business. To improve ocean reliability, the Gemini Cooperation has developed a solution – The Network of the Future.

On 6th November we revealed our plans to tackle the challenges of ocean transport. Our expert panelists comprised of Anne-Sophie Zerlang Karlsen (Head of APA Operations TbM), and Bhavan Vempati (Head of Asia Market, Ocean Products), gave in-depth details into our vision, strategy and implementation of Maersk Network of the Future insights.

Now to solve the problem, we simply cannot do the same things harder. Going faster or adding more ships to the network will be futile and it requires us to come up with a different level of thinking, a different concept to truly have a workable solution.

Innovation

Robotics, big data analytics and AI are successfully playing their part in optimising supply chain performance.

The transshipment hubs with what we call shuttles, are going to be providing us a much higher degree of agility in our operation.

Labour challenges

The rising cost and shortage of labour mean businesses must go for automation and outsourcing solutions.

Strategic partnerships

Outsourcing logistics to the right LLPs is allowing businesses to focus on consolidation and expansion.
The Network of the Future will open for bookings in December 2024 and will officially begin its services in February 2025. With a combination of APM terminals, transshipment hubs, and shuttle services that follow the hub and spoke model, and our expert personnel in 180 countries across the world – the aim is to take ocean reliability from 50% to 90% for your customers.
