        阿什杜德港（Ashdod Port）公司与马士基（Maersk）北美公司签署了一项协议，就供应链物流的创新机会进行合作。

        该协议是在拉斯维加斯的Manifest会议上签署的，这是世界上最大的物流会议之一。

        来自50个国家的3000多名参观者参加了会议，还有1000名初创企业和投资者以及来自施耐德（Schneider）、DHL和西门子（Siemens）等领先公司的250名首席执行官。

        该协议将使参加阿什杜德港蓝海初创企业技术孵化器的以色列初创企业能够被考虑在北美开展试点项目，在陆上作业中测试拟议的技术。

        阿什杜德港董事会主席Orna Hozman Bechor评论说："阿什杜德港的董事会和管理层正在继续努力扩大阿什杜德港在世界各地的合作，因为我们在物流业推广新技术和创新。这种类型的合作至关重要，因此我们可以升级整个供应链，即现代全球经济的源头，并使其更加高效。我们很高兴能与马士基在北美合作。“

        马士基北美公司负责创新和战略发展的高级副总裁Erez Agmoni补充说道："这场新冠疫情强调了供应链不断改进的重要性。这种新的伙伴关系使我们能够利用阿什杜德港的技术孵化器加快和测试我们运营过程中的技术和新想法。”

        该公告是在马士基于2021年与麻省理工学院（Massachusetts Institute of Technology , MIT）运输与物流中心签署的早期创新协议的基础上发布的。

        该协议利用麻省理工学院的工程专业知识和数据科学家团队的优势，研究改进马士基北美物流和数据流程的新方法。

        最近，马士基透露其已经任命了一个新的行政领导团队，该公司在Vincent Clerc担任首席执行官的领导下开始了新的一年。

        管理层的扩张决定是在预期的市场正常化和未来的挑战期之前做出的，因为新冠疫情导致航运激增之后，运费开始下降。

Maersk, Ashdod Port to collaborate on logistics, supply chain innovation

Ashdod Port Company has signed an agreement with Maersk North America to collaborate on innovation opportunities in supply chain logistics.

The agreement was signed at the Manifest conference in Las Vegas, one of the largest logistics conferences in the world.

Over 3,000 visitors from 50 countries participate in the conference, along with 1,000 startups and investors and 250 CEOs from leading companies such as Schneider, DHL, and Siemens.

The agreement will enable Israeli startups that are participating in Ashdod Port’s Blue Ocean for Startups technology incubator to be considered for pilot projects in North America to test the proposed technologies in landside operations.

“The Board of Directors and the management of Ashdod Port are continuing their efforts to expand Ashdod Port’s collaboration around the world, as we promote new technologies and innovation in the logistics industry. This type of collaboration is critical, so we can upgrade the entire supply chain, the source of the modern global economy, and make it more efficient. We are excited to collaborate with Maersk in North America,” Orna Hozman Bechor, Chairman of the Board of Ashdod Port, commented.

“The pandemic highlighted the importance of supply chains to constantly improve. This new partnership enables us to accelerate and test technology and new ideas in our operational processes using Ashdod Port’s tech incubator,” Erez Agmoni, Maersk North America’s Senior Vice President of Innovation and Strategic Growth, added.

The announcement builds on an earlier innovation agreement Maersk signed in 2021 with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Center for Transportation & Logistics.

An agreement that takes advantage of MIT’s engineering expertise and data scientist teams to research new ways of improving Maersk North America’s logistics and data processes.

Recently, Maersk revealed it has appointed a new executive leadership team as the company kick-starts the year under the helm of Vincent Clerc as CEO.

The management expansion decision comes ahead of the expected market normalization and a challenging period ahead as freight rates start to go down following a pandemic-driven shipping surge.
