SeaLand will have a structure similar to Maersk’s other regional carriers” including: intra-Asia carrier MCC Transport and intra-Europe carrier Seago Line”. Knowledgeable, local sales and support staff located in North, Central, and South America, and the Caribbean, will meet the needs of clients in each area. Providing customer-focused service will put Sealand in the forefront of the market.

Maersk Line has an existing Intra-Americas service network to act as a foundation for SeaLand’s ocean products, but this new independant unit will act on its own and begin operations January 2015, with Maersk starting the transition of their Intra-Americas business in 2014.  Approximately 240 skilled personnel will be led by Maersk Line veteran Craig Mygatt, with company HQ in the United States.
