Maersk has reported that it now offers warehousing solution for ExxonMobil affiliates’ airline and maritime products as part of its integrated logistics solutions in addition to import container storage and intermodal transport.
It will also offer customs house brokerage and allied management activities such as 4th Party Logistics (4PL) and cross docking that have been a part of its product offerings and services in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The global integrated container logistics company and ExxonMobil have had a long-standing relationship of 15 years in the UAE wherein Maersk has provided import container storage, intermodal transport of cargo to Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and Jordan, customs house brokerage and allied logistics management activities such as 4PL and cross docking.
Furthermore, Maersk will now manage third party warehousing for ExxonMobil’s airline and maritime products that include lubricating oils, antifreeze and specialities, greases, cold sensitive products and short shelf-life products at a warehouse located in Jebel Ali.
As a part of solutions provided under the new offering, Maersk will execute operation planning and reporting. Maersk’s warehouse management will cover handling of products in the warehouse, their storage, physical inventory mapping, and all inbound and outbound processes. In addition to core warehousing activities, Maersk will also provide container import shuttling and customs clearances for all processes.
“Maersk is on a transformational journey wherein we are connecting and simplifying the supply chains for our customers. We provide innovative products that are tailor-made to suit their requirements,” commented Christopher Cook, Managing Director, Maersk UAE.
“Maersk has been a reliable partner for us over a long time for our chemical products.

Maersk will be operating the warehouse from Jebel Ali. With certain pallet positions reserved for ExxonMobil, the warehouse has enough capacity to increase operations for other customers in the future.
