Warehousing services

Our extensive network means we can handle your supply chain needs at origin and destination, delivering operational excellence that is global in design and local in execution. Reduce complexity and gain speed with strategic consolidation centres, deconsolidation centres, and omnichannel fulfilment services that help improve visibility, flexibility and efficiency.

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 or within ports for easy transfer to ship.

We offer domestic, regional and 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, building consignments direct to distribution centres (DC) or final destinations.

Our facilities also offer pit-stop solutions: late localisation with a wide range of value-added services, all supported by our industry-leading Warehouse Management System. When flexibility to minimise go to market efforts matters, our services can offer you a competitive advantage. For example, quality controls, re-packing, returns management and product disposal.

Take a look at our deconsolidation solutions:

Transload

Cargo is transferred from containers directly into outbound trailers, allowing you to reduce inventory, reduce handling and increase throughput by building consignments direct to Distribution Centres.

Cross Dock and Delayed Cross Dock

For container cargo bound for different destinations, goods are expertly sorted into consignments and transferred to trailers for onward distribution. If you need extra flexibility, take advantage of a 72-hour free storage period with our delayed cross dock service.

DC Bypass

Cargo is transferred from containers to trailers bound for final destination, without passing through a distribution centre. This enables you to lower storage and inventory costs, free up working capital, and accelerate your speed to market.

Omnichannel Fulfilment

From brick-and-mortar stores to e-commerce, our omnichannel fulfilment services 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 including distribution centre(s), retail stores, and your direct or 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.

Distribution services

For a seamless fulfilment solution, combine order processing with distribution services to handle the next leg of your supply chain. We can handle product deliveries via Full Truckload (FTL), Less-than-Truckload (LTL) or parcels to suit your requirements, whether that’s to DCs, wholesalers, shops or your end-consumers.
