This week we have kicked-off our new Maersk Customs Client Forums.
Customs has never been more important than now, but it will be more important tomorrow. We will see more changes for international trade in the next five years than we have seen in the last fifty.
To meet these new challenges we are region-by-region rolling out a series of round-table events where we invite our customers, local Customs and other supply chain stakeholders to listen and learn, shaping our new innovative Customs concept – as an integrated and interactive part of the end-to-end offer under the Maerks Integrator Strategy.
With the Client Forums we want to create a platform forum for exchange of views, knowledge and competence on Customs between all stakeholders of the supply chain. Even more importantly we want to listen.
This week we started this new initiative in Asia-Pacific with two successful Client Forum events in Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok.
The second Client Forum in Bangkok had to change meeting rooms two times to get larger space due to the overwhealming interest from our customers.
Thank you to everybody involved, especially to our customers and to Vitnamese Customs and Thai Customs for participating in these dialogue events.
Watch out we are soon coming to a city near you and we want to hear your view, the promise is – we will listen.
Last week saw the first live international trade using the TradeTrust Framework, a blockchain paperless trade initiative spearheaded by Enterprise Singapore and Singapore’s tech authority IMDA. Maersk used the platform to issue an electronic bill of lading (eBL) on a public blockchain for a shipment of scrap metal. Singapore’s DBS Bank and India’s ICICI Bank relied on the eBL for trade finance.

“When I was at Juventus, Materazzi made me a killer tackle and injured me. He was a tough player, but there are different ways to show that. Maldini was tough too, but he always went for the ball. Instead, Materazzi really wanted to hurt you.
Some years later, I had my revenge. It was in a 2010 derby, when I was playing in Milan. In the second half, I made a taekwondo kick to Materazzi and I sent him to the hospital. Stankovic asked me why I did it, and I told him that I have been waiting for that moment for four years. I told him that no one messes with Zlatan”.
