/24-7PressRelease/ - MUMBAI, INDIA, April 30, 2008 - Maersk Line, the core liner activity of the A.P. Moller - Maersk Group emerged winner of the "Best Shipping Line - Asia-Europe" Award for the 21st consecutive year at the 22nd Asian Freight and Supply Chain Awards (AFSCA). Maersk Line also clinched the coveted "Best Global Shipping Line" Award for the 15th year running at the AFSCA ceremony held in Singapore yesterday.
The awards are a reflection of the comprehensive and reliable end-to-end transportation solutions that Maersk Line offers to customers through its global service network. The Maersk Line fleet consists of more than 500 container vessels with a capacity of more than 1.7 million TEUs (twenty equivalent units). Through a network of its own offices and third party agents in more than 125 countries, Maersk Line continues to provide consistent and high-quality service to customers worldwide.
As winner of the "Best Shipping Line - Asia-Europe" Award, Maersk Line today has eleven extensive strings on the Asia-Europe route, of which the latest Asia-Europe 11 or AE11 route was introduced to support shipments from Asia to Spain. Restructuring of the Asia-Europe routes has also brought enhanced coverage of markets in the Eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea.
Jesper Praestensgaard, Chief Executive for Maersk Line Asia-Pacific said, "I am very happy that customers have shown their support for Maersk Line by voting for us. At Maersk Line, we introduced the new StreamLINE strategy in January this year. A core focus of StreamLINE is to raise the bar on reliable customer service delivery by providing faster, more responsive service to customers. Maersk Line country organisations are now also equipped with greater autonomy to make decisions that are closer to customers. We have already started to see improvements in our day-to-day business processes and interaction with customers, since the implementation of StreamLINE. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers and business partners for their continued support over the years, and for once again nominating us for the "Best Shipping Liner - Asia-Europe" and "Best Global Shipping Line" Awards. We could not have done it without you and you have our assurance that Maersk Line will remain dependable, customer focused and highly competitive in the years ahead."
Judging criteria for the two Awards included schedule reliability, efficient customer service, service network comprehensiveness, competitive pricing and information technology. The winners were voted by the readers of Cargonews Asia and the results audited by Ernst & Young.
The 22nd AFSCA was held at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Singapore and marks one of the longest standing and most renowned maritime awards in Asia.
