AP Moller-Maersk, Deal will more than double Maersk’s warehousing & distribution footprint in UAE
AP Moller-Maersk Kanoo UAE recently signed an agreement with Dubai South for its new warehousing and distribution (W&D) facility in Dubai.
The agreement was signed by Christopher Cook, Managing Director, Maersk UAE and Mohsen Ahmad, CEO, Logistics District, Dubai South, at the regional headquarters of Maersk West & Central Asia in Dubai.
The 15,000sqm Maersk Integrated Logistics Centre DWC facility in the Dubai South Logistics District will have a capacity to cater to 15,000 pallet positions and 10,000 bin locations; it will also serve as a fulfillment centre.
“This will allow us to further build on our air-sea hub operation, which has become increasingly important while also satisfying the right balance between speed and cost with tremendous flexibility,” asserted Cook.
“In reinforcing Dubai’s status as global trade and air-freight logistics hub, we will spare no effort to offer Maersk optimal solutions to further advance its air cargo operations as well as support them in their growth journey,” affirmed Mohsen Ahmed.
The Maersk Integrated Logistics Centre DWC at Dubai South will become operational later in September 2022. The new facility will allow Maersk to operate a hybrid model of a bonded and non-bonded warehouse and truly fulfil different customer needs, including that of a fulfillment centre for end-to-end e-commerce solutions, a press communique indicated.
