Maersk Line wins Global Ocean Carrier of the Year
Maersk Line was awarded Global Ocean Carrier of the Year at the Containerisation International annual awards luncheon at the Sheraton, Park Lane Hotel in London.
Janet Porter, the Editor in Chief of Containerisation International said: Containerisation International presented its global ocean carrier of the year award to Maersk Line, which has demonstrated leadership and innovation in raising service levels through initiatives such as its customer charter and Daily Maersk product, while taking action to cut costs with the planned P3 Network. Maersk also pioneered new ship technologies that are incorporated in its Triple-E vessels and set clear financial targets.
Michael Woods, northern regional sales manager from Maersk Line in the UK, collected the award on behalf of the carrier. Maersk Line also hosted a table at the event, entertaining clients from JF Hillebrand, B&M Retail, Poundland, Warrant, Tradeway, SHS Group and Transocean.
Brian Godsafe, Managing Director of Maersk Line in the UK and Ireland, commented: This award further stresses the progress that Maersk Line has achieved globally over the last 12 months. We have proved that it is possible to optimise for cost and at the same time be at the forefront of innovation on technology, environmental performance and customer service. With initiatives such as our customer charter and the upcoming P3 network I believe we are well positioned to deliver our customers' promises in 2014.
