Maersk Logistics presented with Wal-Mart Global Transportation award
Maersk Logistics was presented the 2006 Wal-Mart "Origin Cargo Manager of the Year" award during the Wal-Mart Direct Imports Conference 2007 held at the retailer's headquarters in Bentonville, Ark., on May 23, 2007. The award was accepted by Chris Aherne, Director, Maersk Logistics USA Inc.
“Maersk Logistics is honored to be named Wal-Mart’s ‘Origin Cargo Manager of the Year’ for the fifth time since 2001,” said Michael White, president of Maersk Logistics Inc. “To receive such a prestigious award is a validation of our commitment to Wal-Mart and reflects the dedication of our global colleagues.”
Each year, Wal-Mart evaluates each provider of transportation services and rates them on areas such as operational planning and execution, communication, problem solving, and customer service. Based on these reviews, Wal-Mart then selects a single transportation provider as the Origin Cargo Manager of the Year. Maersk Logistics also won this award in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004.
