Maersk strengthens its footprint in Croatia

"This modern 12,000 sqm facility is another link in Maersk’s global network of 473 warehouses across all continents for resilient and flexible end-to-end supply chain solutions offered to customers," the company said in a press release.

The new facility became operational on Monday, with global retail brand Marks & Spencer as first customer.

Located less than 20 kilometers from the port of Rijeka in the northern part of the country, it ensures fast delivery times and efficient cargo handling, Maersk said.

The new warehouse is with high security standards and is designed to minimise greenhouse gas emissions thanks to features like solar roof or LED lights reducing energy consumption. The facility has flexible pallet capacity and offers end-to-end solutions including customs services, as well a wide range of additional value-adding services available. Additional benefit is the proximity of the future deepwater terminal, Rijeka Gateway.
