A.P. Moller – Maersk announced that it has embarked on a journey that covers the end-to-end logistics of first-ever Sri Lankan made electric supercar Vega EVX that will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
The car built in Colombo, started its containerised journey from the Vega Innovations workshop in the heart of the city and is currently (27 January 2020) en route to the Port Rotterdam in the Netherlands from where it will continue all the way to Geneva, Switzerland.
Maersk Lanka took up the requirements set out by Vega Innovations for their electric supercar to be transported from the workshop it was built in, to the exhibition centre in Geneva and back.
As a part of the solution, Maersk Lanka’s team will manage the entire product journey including booking management, intermodal and ocean transportation for landside and waterside movement, warehousing, customs house brokerage and regulatory documentation, value protect (cargo protection from logistics-related risks), labour management for loading and unloading, as well as third party insurance, according to the Danish shipping company.
Steve Felder, MD, Maersk South Asia, said:
“We are pleased to enable the entire journey of the supercar through our integrated end-to-end logistic offerings. This project will further help open several new opportunities for simplifying special cargo deliveries across India/Sri Lanka, South Asia and even globally.”
