A.P. Moller – Maersk, a global logistics leader, unveiled strategic initiatives at India Maritime Week 2025 to strengthen its commitment to India’s maritime sector. Plans include significant investments in port infrastructure and enhancing local partnerships across the maritime value chain.
APM Terminals Pipavav, part of Maersk, entered a Memorandum of Understanding with the Gujarat Maritime Board to invest USD 2 billion in port expansion. This investment aims to improve the port’s capacity with advanced infrastructure and better connectivity through the Dedicated Freight Corridor, aligning with India’s economic growth goals. APM Terminals Asia & Middle East CEO, Jon Goldner, emphasized the long-term benefits for Gujarat and global trade.
In a notable move, Maersk registered a new entity, Maersk Bharat IFSC Pvt. Ltd., in Gujarat and flagged two vessels under the Indian flag, reinforcing the company’s focus on domestic maritime capabilities. Collaborations with Indian shipyards for vessel maintenance and local container manufacturing further illustrate Maersk’s investment in India’s maritime ecosystem.
Maersk is also committed to developing maritime talent through partnerships with educational institutions, providing training opportunities for cadets and ratings, thus enhancing workforce competence in the industry.
