Warehousing and Distribution
Maersk takes care of your end-to-end warehousing and distribution logistics, from our strategic network of storage facilities; capable to fulfil your customers’ demands.
Warehousing services
Our global footprint and extensive network means we have facilities ready to handle your supply chain, whether at origin or destination. By combining shipping with warehousing and distribution, you benefit from a seamless end-to-end solution with fewer logistic service providers. Complexity is reduced, and you gain speed, control and visibility.
Consolidation centres
A warehouse perfectly placed and connected to your sourcing areas can combine materials and goods pre-export, helping you optimise your landside movements and container loads.
Our portfolio comprises bonded and non-bonded warehouses, facilities located within free trade zones, and others near/within ports for easy transfer to ship.
We offer domestic and regional/international consolidation, including multi-country consolidation. Offered at several international hubs, including our major East-West transshipment hub at Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia, these facilities offer multi-country consolidation and a host of product value-added services, within the free trade zone.
Deconsolidation centres
When your cargo arrives at its destination market, keep your goods flowing through the supply chain without missing a beat. Many of our facilities are ideally situated close to key ocean ports for major shipping routes, allowing faster throughput of your cargo.
Our deconsolidation solutions have multiple service offerings depending on where your cargo needs to go – straight transload, or building consignments direct to distribution centres or final destinations.
Our facilities also offer pit-stop solutions: late localisation with a wide range of value-added services, all supported by industry-leading Warehouse Management Systems. When flexibility to minimise go-to-market efforts matters, our services can offer you a competitive advantage (e.g., quality controls, re-packing, returns management or product disposal).

Omnichannel Fulfilment
From brick-and-mortar stores to e-commerce, Maersk Omnichannel Fulfilment solutions enable a fully integrated and seamless shopping experience for your end-consumers across multiple touchpoints. We receive your incoming goods, store them in designated storage locations and manage the inventory. We also fulfil your outbound orders from our warehouse and ship directly to your omnichannel network viz. distribution centre(s), retail stores, and your direct/indirect end-customer. With the help of our service portfolio, you can choose from a wide range of storage options and configurable value-added services like discrete quality inspection, packaging, labelling and sorting.
Overall, with Maersk you get a powerful fulfilment solution that integrates with your systems to provide real-time visibility, improve operational efficiency and build stronger relationships with your customers to drive growth.

Our warehousing solutions are underpinned by investment in technology, automation and robotics. We are steadily expanding our fleet of AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), automated sorters and hybrid systems, all of which deliver superior picking efficiencies.
All this is supported by our IT landscape consisting of best-in-class Warehouse Management Systems, providing you with integration capabilities, visibility and improved accuracy, allowing you to be agile and respond quickly to any events in the supply chain.
