Global trade is more unpredictable than ever. A recent Maersk survey of over 900 European companies reveals that four in five supply chain leaders expect disruptions to continue for the next 12–24 months. Geopolitical risk, changing trade policies, and tariffs are driving uncertainty for businesses across the maritime industry.
The survey highlights the strategies companies are adopting to build supply chain resilience:
- Diversifying sourcing: 75% of businesses are spreading suppliers across multiple geographies.
- Strengthening partnerships: 80% are collaborating more closely with logistics providers and key suppliers.
- Investing in visibility and agility: 60% are using data and technology to track shipments and respond faster to trade disruption.
- Exploring alternative trade routes: 75% are adapting routes to reduce bottlenecks and risk.
These insights show that proactive management is critical. Companies that centralize customs data, monitor trade regulations, and respond quickly to tariffs are better positioned to protect operations and maintain growth.
