"If someone asked me what Maersk did, I would tell them that they have likely seen the name of the company or the logo on the bed of a truck, on a freight train, or on a cargo ship countless times before. I would then explain that Maersk organizes and coordinates the transportation of goods in their shipping containers across the globe. I would then explain that Maersk is at the forefront of making global shipping and logistics more sustainable, efficient, and environmentally green."
