Setting Sail for the Future

Our Strategy 2030

In a rapidly changing world, the ability to adapt is paramount – and a crucial marker for success. Over the last years, the global landscape has changed a lot and customer needs are evolving with technology and industry trends. At the same time, we need to expand and adopt new measures in the areas of quality, sustainability and digitalisation. Against this backdrop, we have charted our course with Strategy 2030 to maintain our position as one of the leading carriers.

In the past, we have made significant progress in customer satisfaction, financial stability, and market expansion, particularly in key regions such as India and Africa. Building on the momentum of Strategy 2023, which cemented our reputation as a customer-centric carrier, Strategy 2030 is the result of in-depth market analysis and customer insight, as well as extensive internal collaboration, including input from our global experts. It is dedicated to delivering outstanding customer service, while prioritising environmental responsibility and innovative digital solutions to navigate the ever-changing global landscape.

Strategy 2030 is built on five core pillars

Pure Play Plus

We invest in our fleet and service network to further strengthen our core liner business. At the same time, we expand our terminal portfolio and increase our share of inland transport.

Top 5 Global Container Line

We aim to cement our position among the top five global container lines and reinforce our presence in key markets, including Africa, India, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific trade.

Undisputed Number One for Quality

We will double down on our quality strategy, aiming for an on-time delivery rate of more than 80%. Simultaneously, we strengthen our operational excellence, customer care, and ease of doing business. The Gemini Cooperation with Maersk will be an important step towards this goal.

Sustainability Driver

We are committed to decarbonise and to contribute to keep global warming within the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement. We pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around one third by 2030 and to achieve net-zero fleet operations by 2045.

Top Performing Carrier

We aim to become an industry frontrunner by leveraging cutting-edge IT solutions, increasing productivity, maintaining a razor-sharp focus on performance and cost optimization, and attracting talents.
