Maersk Line, the world’s largest ocean container carrier, is shifting into the breakbulk and out of gauge equipment market as the global recession depresses the container market.
Maersk purchased more than 10,000 new-build flat-rack and open-top containers, dramatically expanding its capacity. The company is already integrating the first equipment to arrive and anticipates final delivery during the fourth quarter.
“By bringing more focus to the breakbulk market, we are able to offer customers our expertise, experience and resources, developing a true and sustainable transport partnership with breakbulk shippers,” said Ed Long, director of project sales for North America.
