Overview
Get the flexibility to move your cargo in an efficient and agile way
Demand fluctuations, supply disruptions, and irregular patterns make it hard for logistics planners to stay agile while keeping costs low — leading to missed revenue, unsatisfied buyers, or excess inventory that hurts the bottom line.
Flex Hub lets you inject physical efficiency into your supply chain without sacrificing flexibility. Whether you need to slow a shipment down, act on a last-minute deal, or redirect goods mid-route, Flex Hub lets you hold inventory in containers, postpone delivery, position cargo closer to key markets, or change the destination at will.
Why Maersk Flex Hub?
Up to 70% reduction in ‘order to delivery’ lead times. Get the flexibility to change the final destination and the agility to deliver faster to your customers directly from the hubs.
Position your cargo closer to key markets with our eight (8) hub ports. Flex Hub is available in Tanjung Pelepas, Salalah, Jeddah, Port Said, Port Tangier, Algeciras, Bremerhaven and Balboa.
Slowdown in flows of your cargo to meet changes in demand. Ship your cargo now and we’ll store it for you in one of our hub ports.
Our hubs reduce storage costs by nearly 30% in comparison with traditional warehouse facilities and with reduced working capital.
Save precious storage space at your facilities. We will deliver your cargo to its destination when the time is right.
You can easily add Flex Hub to your long-term contract. Just select the hub port you wish to use and get started.
How Flex Hub works
Flex Hub is simple to use and convenient to incorporate into your logistics process, letting you strike a much-needed balance between demand and supply.
