Maersk opens specialised warehouse for electric car batteries

The warehouse has a full range of safety features to guarantee best handling of the electric car batteries. Besides thermal monitoring cameras and in-rack sprinklers throughout the warehouse, the space will be divided into four independent, fire-resistant compartments.

In addition to repacking, the services offered in the special warehouse include in-depth quality controls and charging of the batteries as well as other value-adding services along automotive supply chains.

Strengthening capabilities in end-to-end logistics in South-Eastern Europe

Maersk is also building a new deep-water terminal in Rijeka, which is scheduled to be inaugurated in 2025. It will increase handling capacity in the Eastern Adriatic and significantly reduce the transit times and thus also CO2 emissions of transports from Asia to Europe and especially to Croatia, the Czech Republic and neighbouring countries.

Two further warehouses for dry cargo were recently opened in Kladno, close to Prague, with 10,000 sqm space and Zagreb, capital of Croatia, with 4,100 sqm space. A third warehouse (11,700 sqm) will be inaugurated in spring 2023 in Rijeka. The facilities underpin Maersk’s strengthened capabilities in end-to-end logistics and supply chain management in Central and Southern Europe.
