Maersk Line is the core liner shipping business of the A.P. Moller – Maersk Group, and the leading container shipping company in the world. The Maersk Line fleet comprises more than 600 vessels and a number of containers corresponding to more than 4,100,000 TEU (Twenty foot Equivalent Unit – a container 20 feet long). Currently, Maersk Line has 325 offices around the globe with approximately 25,000 employees allotted in 125 countries.
WHAT DOES CONTAINER SHIPPING MEANS?
Containerization is a global system of intermodal cargo transport using standardized containers. Today, Maersk Line ships around 14% of the world container trade. Every commodity and type of goods can be loaded and carried in ‘the box’, as the container is often referred to. As a result, modern container shipping has changed the way we transport goods around the world and has played a key role in globalization.
MAERSK LINE IN MALAYSIA
Maersk
Line, one of the largest shipping companies in Malaysia, is represented by
Maersk Malaysia Sdn Bhd. Operation in Malaysia was commenced on the
25 September 1974 with offices in Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Port Klang. Since
then, with the impressive development of trade in Malaysia, the Maersk network
has expanded, with a new office opened in Tanjung Pelepas, Johor, following the
move of hub terminal operations from Singapore. To cover Maersk Line's
interests on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, they are currently
represented via an agency agreement with Gateway Shipping Sdn. Bhd. in Kuantan.
All
regional offices in Malaysia have their own Customer Service to provide
customers with high quality, fast and efficient service. The customer service teams
handle all export tasks, including proactive telephone and
online bookings. The documentation centre in Kuala Lumpur handles all
export documentation and is responsible for the release of all bills of lading.
The
Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) is now the new gateway in the state of Johor. It is also a haven for port-related
industries, as PTP is a free trade zone with abundant land for distribution
parks and other warehousing requirements. In August 2000, Maersk Line became a
strategic partner of PTP with an estimated annual volume of 2 million TEUs
annually and was awarded as the "Best Emerging Container Terminal
Award" by Lloyd's List in October 2000.
On
August 2005, Maersk acquired P&O Nedlloyd creating a new brand name Maersk
Line replacing former brand Maersk Sealand and P&O Nedlloyd.
Progressing on this, since Feb 12th 2006 Maersk Malaysia has completed full
integration of these two companies here in Malaysia and have now moved to a
new office in Glenmarie since April 2006.
PHILOSOPHY
Maersk Line is a division of the A.P. Moller – Maersk Group, with which they share the same values and business principles - to be a world-class group, known and highly respected. An attractive business partner and employer, and a good corporate citizen.
When founder Mr. A.P. Møller wrote "No loss should hit us, which could be avoided with constant care", he summarized in a few words one of the central themes of Maersk Line's business philosophy.
Living with the seas and respecting nature is ingrained in their culture and matches their quest for constant care. This concept has a wide and deep meaning at Maersk Line. "Constant care" implies a strong dedication to promote the health and safety of their employees and others in the industry and in the world around us.

Malaysia Team
Additionally, charts
below presents the very supportive and accommodating team from India that we’re
working very closely with on an everyday basis
In the end of the day, I am truly grateful to be given a
chance and opportunity to work with the top logistic company in the world. “A tree is only as strong as its roots” -
being able to be part of this company for a short period of time is indeed a
blessing in disguise and fruitful, as I believe I have gained so much in so
many ways. This is true for the knowledge that I have enhanced, experiences
that I have gained and friends I have met.
The people made the workplace which is usually a boring place into a fun place! Even though I have finished my training, I miss being part of the family.
