Reinforcing the global reach and strategic depth of Ireland's logistics sector, Maersk Contract Logistics has been named Gold Sponsor of the Irish Logistics & Transport Awards 2026, underlining the importance of world-class partnerships in advancing supply chain excellence at scale.

A.P. Moller - Maersk is an integrated container logistics company working to connect and simplify its customers' supply chains. As the global leader in shipping services, the company operates in 130 countries and employs roughly 76,000 people. Through a seamless end-to-end offering of products and digital services, Maersk enables businesses to trade and grow by transporting goods anywhere in the world, combining ocean, air, road and contract logistics into a single, cohesive network.

Maersk's contract logistics model reflects the complexity of modern supply chain demands. With businesses across every sector facing pressure to scale rapidly, reduce costs and meet omnichannel fulfilment expectations, access to strategically located, technology-enabled warehousing has become a defining operational advantage.

The company's sponsorship aligns with the Irish Logistics & Transport Awards' mission to recognise organisations delivering measurable impact across Ireland's supply chain. Maersk's integrated IT systems, proximity to key ports, and flexible scaling capabilities reflect the same values of operational excellence, innovation and resilience that the awards programme has championed since its inception.

Sponsorship provides strategic visibility for Maersk while supporting the awards programme's ability to expand recognition of best-in-class performance across Ireland's logistics and transport sector. The partnership reflects broader industry acknowledgment that supply chain leadership demands both global capability and local agility.

With one of the sector's most anticipated events on the horizon, attention turns to the Irish Logistics & Transport Awards Gala today, 26 February 2026, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Santry, where Maersk will join logistics leaders from across Ireland's business community in celebrating innovation, operational performance and industry leadership. 

The black-tie evening will feature a panel discussion moderated by comedian, author and broadcaster Colm O'Regan, bringing together industry leaders to share insights on the key trends shaping the future of logistics and transport in Ireland.

The Irish Logistics & Transport Awards acknowledge the essential role of sponsors, partners and contributors in enabling the programme to grow and recognise organisations setting new benchmarks for excellence. As Ireland's supply chain continues to evolve, partnerships like this underscore the commercial imperative driving the sector's transformation.
