SUPPLY CHAIN
Steve Felder , Managing Director - East Africa
So relatively speaking we are a high growth region , and so it ’ s taking on more prominence in our company . Our Maersk Group CEO and members of the executive board visit quite regularly , so it is definitely a priority area for us .
“ In East Africa we directly employ about 150 colleagues . Over the years , we have also offshored some non-location-specific tasks to our shared services centres in India , China and the Philippines , in order to enable us to get more of a focus on the customers locally .”
Progression and challenges Trade essentially works in two corridors in East Africa . The northern corridor originates from Mombasa and services the whole of Kenya ,
“ The shipping industry , and of course our business , plays a significant role in enabling trade in the region , by connecting East African importers and exporters to a global trade network ”
