    Dear Colleagues,

    Welcome to the re-launch of our Maersk & Safmarine NEWSLETTER. I hope you will enjoy

    reading it.

    This NEWSLETTER is edited and completed by one of our dedicated team. The newsleer

    s being published to hopefully improve our in-house communicaon and understanding

    of who we are, where we are and - perhaps most importantly where we are headed. It is

    also a chance to bring us all a lile closer not least our oces in Lahore, Faisalabad andour port oce at Port Qasim.

    We are in the middle of launching our MUST WIN BATTLES and with that will also begin

    work (a lile) on our company DNA through CULTURAL AMPLIFIERS. Our industry has

    never been stac and the changes shipping is undergoing are and will connue to be dra-

    mac. It will be a journey; just as previous strategies have been, however with your acve

    parcipaon it will be successful and for sure not a boring one. Im looking forward to

    this.

    First quarter of performance has been fair. Our volumes are slightly above and revenue

    s on target. It is sll very early in the day and we have a long way to go, it is nonethelessa good start. The rst quarter also put some of our key trades under increased pressure

    due to increased compeon on routes that had tradionally been our strongholds.

    The people and their talent are what really stand out here in Pakistan. We have a great

    foundaon to build on making us even stronger however is key. For us to bring our A

    game to the table it is necessary for us to become more pro-acve and to react faster

    with dynamic strategies when our trades are under threat.

    Best Regards,

    ed Nestle Pakistan for the much

    renowned Customer Corner

    event. Visitors were Mr. Salim

    e having imported 479 FFE with Maersk Paki-

    tan in 2012 alone, is among the top Global Key

    estle have been included as part of our launch of the Customer CARE ini-

    ve in mid 2012. Since the Lahore oce has undergone some major per-

    onnel changes in the past two years, it was also a very good opportunity for

    he new sta to beer acquaint themselves with the Nestle team.

    rior to this customer corner visit, day to day business between Maersk and

    estle was already funconing very smoothly. So the main agenda of the

    meeng was not to hammer out soluons to any long running disputes. The

    ocus was more on relaonship building, geng to know the customers

    usiness beer and of course quizzing the customer on ways to further im-

    rove our service levels to Nestle.

    uring the discussion with them it was encouraging to see that their overall

    xperience with Maersk was very posive as they praised our global net-

    work coverage and the easy accessibility of our sta. At the same me they

    ointed out a very interesng area of improvement, which was mulple in-

    oicing.

    Safmarine Pakistan has launched a plaorm to improve relaonshipbuilding with its customers. With three customer facing funcons;Sales, Customer Services and Finance issues can now be resolved via one

    common plaorm where employees can interact with their customers.

    It had been idened that with the excepon of Sales, employees in the

    other departments rarely interacted with the customers. Communicaon

    via email and telephony misses out on the eecveness of face to face

    interacons. Importance of physically meeng with customers can be aptly

    understood from following:

    As part of Safmarines strategy to dierenate on its Accessand lead the

    market in Experience for its customers, the CEP plaorm was launched in

    Feb 2013. The plaorm enables employees of Safmarine to engage with

    the customer through its 3 customizable formats:

    Strategic Client Review

    Target strategic global and local clients for business development meengs

    involving personnel from all customer facing departments.

    Meet n Greet

    Arrange weekly casual meengs with customer for relaonship building

    with account managers.

    Resoluon:

    Approach customers proacvely for the Resoluon of issues to make our

    customers feel valued and important. All Safmariners have the liberty to

    idenfy an issue, assemble a team, schedule meeng with the customer

    and execute the Resoluon.

    Customer Engagement Plaorm

    When there is a need for the expression of emoons, . when one is

    aempng to persuade others, or when tasks require consensus on issues

    that are aected by atudes or values of the group members.

    ver 20 years and 11 industries, with 2 MBA degrees she is a

    R powerhouse. Aq and Amal caught up with Aisha to dis-

    uss family, work and play and of course Rahim Gilani.

    Where do you see yourself in next ve years?

    nrealiscally, Id like to own a lovely restaurant somewhere

    ear the Balt Fort and rere there (haha). On a serious note,

    ts see where Maersk takes me.

    What are your Short and long term goals

    hort term: To be able to fund for my daughters educaon at

    arvard or any other Ivy League university.

    ong term: To be able to take all those children o the road

    who havent had a fair chance in life and to be able to make a

    ierence to their lives. We all need to give something back

    o our country, weve been so lucky. So just want to be able

    o do that.

    aza Kazmi: Balanced

    arheen Mahmud: Exuberant

    What is your typical way of dealing with conict?

    I have two ways: I try to nd a soluon because I respect the

    fact that everybody works together in the long term building

    a bond and relaonships. On the other hand if somebody iout of line or very obviously aggressive then I believe an ag

    gressive approach is more suitable for conict resoluon.

    How was your rst vessel trip?

    I would love to go again and I loved it. It was really nice. The

    vessel/yard planning at QICT was most interesng. Seeing the

    Rubber Tyre Gantry (RTG) and how it moves containers on

    and o basically gives you the idea of the sheer size

    (enormity) of Maersk Lines operaons.

    about you?

    Used to read Tijar Khabrain on PTV in 1997 & 1998.

    One insighul fact that you want everyone to know or a

    message you want to convey?

    Think execuon but be holisc and long term in your ap

    proach. Above all always remember that you are a role mode

    to someone around you and in a global company like Maers

    you are the Ambassadors of Pakistan. It is what you do andhow you do it that represents Pakistan.

    Only Three Lines posted sig-nicant prots in 2013

    1.CMA-CGM

    2.OOCL

    3.MAERSK LINE

    The ocean container industry may

    make a decent prot in 2013 asaverage freight rates and volumes

    are expected to increase 3 to 4 per-

    cent and bunker costs to decline 1.5

    percent.

    According to Drewry Container lines

    can stay in the black in 2013, only if

    they refrain from the kind of rate

    war waged in the rst quarter of

    2012.

    Drewry said carriers managed to turntheir results around last year

    through a combinaon of prudent

    capacity management and unity on

    freight rate increases. However it is

    said that aer a protable third

    quarter, many carriers lost money

    again in the fourth quarter. The

    three major carriers CMA CGM,Maersk Line and OOCL returned a

    meaningful operang prot for the

    full year neutralizing losses for the

    rest of the industry.

    There was a massive turn-

    around in global container

    The incident of a stray bullet passing

    through the glass window in the galley at

    PKC Head oce posed serious concerns for

    the management. The challenge was to nd

    a soluon for the safety of our employees,without damaging oce aesthecs. Aer a

    thorough evaluaon following soluons

    were implemented.

    Exisng window glasses have been

    strengthened by axing 350 micron Armor-

    coat lms to protect them from shaering

    in the event of a bomb blast and to reduce

    bullet speed.

    The challenge was great. We were all wor-

    ried aer the incident and wanted a quick

    soluon for the safety of our employees

    said Amanatullah Ansari, Administraon

    Manager. He added that they did not want

    to convert the oce into a fort.. The glass

    soluon was perfect with regards to safety

    and aesthecs. Execuon of the project

    was conducted eciently by our admin-

    istraon team dealing tacully with our

    new vendors. Our oce is much safer place

    now.

    FBR, as many of you know, is a new analycal and management reporng soluon that will give novel transparency to varia-

    ble costs (as well as other costs, revenue and yield) across our business. One of the key fea-

    tures will be the visibility to the "true unit cost" development, by allowing mix, volume, RoE

    and other eects to be stripped out from the average rate. The granularity will be very high,

    allowing cost comparisons e.g. between dierent ports, terminals, corridors, vendors, moves,size/types, etc.

    According to Jakob Stausholm, FBR is the heart of our strategy.

    Essenal for Maersk Lines StrategyFBR has been introduced as a key project in Finish the Foundaon one of Maersk Lines four

    Must Win Bales.

    akob pointed out that a vast amount of data stands under ulized in FACT. 10 years down the road we are yet to extrac

    substanal business value from FACT underulizing its potenal.

    FBR Implementaon in Pakistan Cluster:t was an extremely challenging task to implement FBR in Pakistan cluster, which has cost reporng in 5 dierent countries

    and 11 purchasing organizaons. Pakistan accounts for the highest unit cost and worlds second highest cluster cost in the

    Maersk Liner business.

    An unimaginable world without TICOt was unimaginable to work without legacy systems (TICO, MEMS and FIR-II) which were at the heart of Maersk Lines re

    porng structure said cluster cost manager Rizwan Pir . He also added that the successful sign -o in FBR is indeed a momen

    of celebraon aer extensive eorts in migraon of data into new system. It is the beginning of new chapter for Maersk Line

    where the true focus will now be on data driven decisions in a global landscape.

    More to Follow (Other systems to Obey)

    There are several updates in pipeline as other systems will implement the same brand logic as FBR, such as other system

    ike Yoda and PULS weekly bookings. To accommodate separate reporng for Maersk and Safmarine Brand has been im

    plemented in FBR reporng followed by inclusion in FBR forecasng.
