CARRIER ADVISORY: Maersk sets to enhance customer experience with brand-new Southeast Asia to Australia network

Maersk has unveiled its new Southeast Asia to Australia network, designed to improve schedule reliability and boost supply chain resilience for the region. Putting customers and their needs first, this new network will improve port coverage and offer greater protection against congestion and disruptions.

The network’s configuration has been reimagined after a careful review that drew on insights from customers and exemplifies Maersk’s commitment to continuous improvement. It is inspired by the hub and spoke model, resembling a bicycle wheel with delivery routes (the spokes) converging on a single hub. The network will be made up of 16 ships across three services to minimise overlap, while providing the best possible coverage.
