A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been developed in connection with the negotiation of the UK-Singapore Digital Economy Agreement, in the context of contributing to a closer economic relationship between the United Kingdom and Singapore.
One of the area purposes of the MoU is ’enabling effective digitalisation in trade in a neutral and open fashion that allows electronic trade documents to be interoperable amongst applicable digital ecosystems; and activities to establish project(s) to evaluate and validate the benefits of sharing electronic transferable records such as electronic transferable Bills of Lading, in an interoperable manner’.

I want to wish all customers, partners, colleagues & friends Seasons Greetings and a Happy Holiday Season.
It has been another extraordinary year in so many ways. On a personal level I got a new family in Maersk, adding so many brilliant new colleagues to my lifetime network.
I received a fantastic warm introduction from Aymeric Chandavoine & Rene Klein & our team. But this was only the start. Now I am looking forward to 2022.
Watch out in January when we launch our new Global Trade & Customs Consulting product – another step to take customer centricity & intergrated end-to-end services to an new level. All The Way.
Remember that Customs has never been more important than now, but it will be more important tomorrow.
But now, time for the family, some gluhwein & the famous Swedish Christmas smorgasbord.
See you in 2022.

The COVID-19 pandemic did a lot to highlight for everyone the critical role trade plays in our daily lives.
Empty store shelves and late or undelivered packages led many people to wonder for the first time how goods and services reached them – and especially what stopped or delayed delivery.
And, of course, they wondered how the situation could be improved.
This is not a new topic in the trade world. The simplification, modernization and harmonization of export and import processes is called trade facilitation, and it’s the subject of global agreements, research, conferences and discussions.
