Description
It was December 14th at about 5:30PM I got on the 1 at Chambers and you were sitting on the left side of the train near the door. You had on white pants and white sneakers. You were holding your phone. I got off at 14th street. I was tempted to airdrop you a note. Your name might be Alexandra. You are very pretty.
A.P.-Moller Maersk A/S agreed to buy LF Logistics for around $3.6 billion, in a move that would give the ocean shipping giant a network of warehouses in Asia and boost its footprint in inland logistics.
Maersk, which moves about a fifth of the world’s containers on its ships, has been reaping the benefits of the rattled global supply strains that have pushed up ocean freight rates to record levels this year and caused backlogs at U.S. ports.
It has been using acquisitions to expand beyond ocean freight into inland logistics. It wants to capture a bigger share of the market moving goods between Asian and U.S. ports, and then from ports into warehouses or businesses and even the last mile to a person’s home.
“We are buying a company that can serve our customers by providing goods to physical stores and also deliver goods to the door of the consumer that are bought online,” Maersk Chief Executive Soren Skou said in an interview. “LF Logistics can do both and it can do it in Asia in a big way.”
