TITLE : HEAD OF AP AIR AT MAERSK COMPANY : MAERSK INDUSTRY : LOGISTICS LOCATION : SINGAPORE
Marcus Ng is an accomplished global programme management professional with skills in strategic relationship building across various cultures . He boasts strong business acumen and analytical skills for the development of air freight , transportation , warehousing processes and solutions .
Maersk ’ s outlook on the market is , inevitably , slightly different to other industry players given its air freight division , Maersk Air Cargo , has not yet been fully operational for two years .
The business has been working hard to improve its position in the sector , offering customers a unique combination of air freight integrated with other transport modes .
“ Definitely there is movement ,” Hansen adds , “ not in general cargo but more in e-commerce . We see improvement for air demand with customers , but it ’ s selective based on their inventory needs and the vertical and trades they ’ re involved in .”
Reliability assumes heightened importance What hasn ’ t changed from a customer perspective , according to Hansen , is the demand for cost competitiveness , which remains as crucial as ever .
