General Motors taps Maersk as integrated logistics partner across Sou…

General Motors has consolidated its South American logistics across ocean, inland, warehousing, and digital services under a single Maersk partnership, moving from transactional multi-vendor model to integrated operational planning. The shift addresses coordination gaps and production risk in a region with volatile infrastructure, customs complexity, and climate exposure. If you run manufacturing in South America with multi-vendor logistics, every handoff between ocean, inland, and warehouse is a production stoppage waiting to happen. Consolidate to one partner with real-time visibility across all three modes, or your just-in-time lines will break when the next port closes or customs delays a shipment.
