On the new appointments, Jesper Praestensgaard, Chief Executive for Maersk Line Asia-Pacific said:
“We need to make it easier for our customers to do business with us and I am confident that both Henrik and Thomas will deliver on this. Apart from having a simpler organisational structure, modernisation of the shipping industry holds the key to less complex container shipping. Maersk Line is standardising documentation, data flow and processes across the
entire transportation chain. When shippers are able to depend on these standards, container shipping will become easier and more cost-effective.”
