Maersk Awarded Best Shipping Company at the TFG International Trade Finance Awards

A.P. Moller - Maersk is has been recognised and commended for our contribution to the trade sector at the 2019 International Trade Finance Awards.

We have been awarded “Best Shipping Company” by Trade Finance Global (TFG) for our work on the Maersk Trade Finance product.

2018 was a catalyst for technological innovation in the trade and receivables space, which in turn, has helped enhance and facilitate global trade. For banks, corporates and SMEs involved in complex supply chains, building innovative technologies and allowing interoperability between different parties will continue to be a force for good in terms of trade.

Throughout 2018 we reached several successful milestones such as successfully completing the separation of our energy businesses, integrating Hamburg Süd as well as being the first container shipping company to launch instant booking confirmation. These steps are further contributing to our vision of becoming a global integrator of container logistics offering seamless, flexible and scalable services to customers across their global supply chain.

Deepesh Patel, Head of Marketing at Trade Finance Global said: “We commend Maersk's approach to innovative finance solutions to its customers, extending credit facilities to numerous providers and cross-selling beyond its core offering.”

Vipul Sardana, Global Head of Maersk Trade Finance, said: “It is an honour to be recognized at the International trade finance awards for all the benefits that Maersk Trade Finance brings to global trade. It is a recognition from the industry that we are on the right track and are continuously re-inventing ourselves to build a purpose driven organization.”

He said: “Access to capital, remains to be one of the largest obstacles to the growth of trade and there is still a lot that needs to be done. With Maersk Trade Finance we are helping SMEs with finance when they need it the most and thus enabling them better access to global trade. We thank the panel for their consideration and reinforce our commitment on staying the course.”
