In the complex world of logistics, success is not just about moving cargo. It is about having the right strategies and the right people driving the process.
Three of Shipco’s leaders – Peter Andersen, Regional COO, Europe; Robert Zorzi, Regional COO, Americas; and Stig Krogh, Global COO – Ocean/Regional COO, Asia Pacific & ISC – highlight the principles enabling Shipco to consistently deliver high service levels. They emphasize the importance of a skilled and dedicated team, local expertise, and constant client communication. This collaboration forms the backbone of the company.
“There’s a lot of coordination going on between our customers, our overseas partners, our own offices,” Stig Krogh explains, but acknowledges, “Not always do things go as planned.”
“This is where the local expert, steps in. It is important that the local experts, they have the local network, they know the terminals, they know the truckers to know the warehouses, because we would need to pull favors,” he points out.
“Otherwise loads will roll,” Stig Krogh states, adding “Two days are not the same for this group of people. It is high intensity. This is a highly specialized task in the supply chain. We are loading thousands of containers every day around the world.”
Seamless coordination among customers, overseas partners, and Shipco’s offices, backed by local experts, ensures shipments navigate unexpected challenges without delays. These consolidation experts rely on their strong relationships and in-depth knowledge of our partners such as carriers, terminals, truckers, and warehouses, which is vital to keeping cargo moving smoothly.
Robert Zorzi further highlights the importance of highly qualified and experienced consolidation specialists: “If you don’t have a good core of people, you don’t have a good core of a company. We do have a great core of people that have been with Shipco a long time. That core is crucial to everything we offer.”
“Those things are crucial for us to be able to offer our customers what they want and what they need,” he concludes.
Peter Andersen stresses the core element behind the company’s success: “The commitment to our business and the whole Shipco DNA, maintaining that for us, has been a key driver in the professional approach that we have to business.”
“We have both feet on the ground,” he continues, underscoring the collective dedication of the team, “There’s no one in our organization that is too high on the pedestal to not get involved in the nitty gritty which is very inspiring for me and has been for all the years that I’ve been here.”
