“The strong tail winds that benefited the supply chain industries during the pandemic are coming to an end,” said chair of the board Robert Uggla in a statement.

“With an increasingly challenging outlook, the board believes Vincent holds the right experience and capabilities as CEO to pursue and oversee Maerskā€™s strategic and organizational development in the years to come,” he added.

Company veteran Clerc currently heads the company’s Ocean & Logistics business.

Skou, who has been in the job since 2016, oversaw the group’s transformation from a conglomerate into an integrated logistics company.
