A.P. Moller – Maersk (Maersk), an integrated logistics company, showcased innovations shaping the future of global logistics at its flagship technology event, Code Cargo 2025, held in Bengaluru. The event highlighted Maersk’s use of artificial intelligence (AI), data science, and platform engineering, with India at the centre of its digital transformation journey. 

  

A key highlight was Star Connect, Maersk’s AI-powered fleet energy efficiency platform. Built on edge computing, it processes over 2.5 billion IoT data points in real time, forecasting fuel consumption, wind resistance, and risks such as parametric roll. This enables operators to make rapid course and speed adjustments, improving safety, fuel efficiency, and emissions monitoring, while supporting Maersk’s decarbonisation goals. 

  

“India is not just a growth market for Maersk; it is a vital part of the brain and backbone of our global digital transformation,” said Navneet Kapoor, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology & Information Officer, A.P. Moller – Maersk. 

Maersk employs over 20,000 Indians, including 2,900 technology professionals across Bengaluru, Pune, Mumbai and Chennai. The Bengaluru Technology Centre leads software development, architecture, AI and cybersecurity, and has secured over 10 AI patents. 

“Technology at Maersk is not just about building tools—it’s about building capabilities that can scale globally, simplify logistics for our customers and most importantly, create ways to address uncertainties and disruptions impacting global supply chains,” said Resham Sahi, Senior Vice President – Technology, and Head of Maersk Technology Centre, Bengaluru. 

  

Maersk operates across 15 ports and 26 warehouses covering 350,000 sq m in India, reaching over 80 per cent of pin codes through its distribution network. It handles nearly 1 million containers annually, executes 7,000 weekly rail moves, and provides customs and air freight services. 

With Code Cargo 2025, Maersk reaffirmed that the future of global trade will not just be moved, but also coded, engineered, and optimised in India.
