Maersk and Viaservice partner on container financing solution in Kenya

Through the partnership, Maersk customers will gain access to the Viaservice Container Solution (VCS). The digital platform aims to reduce the amount of working capital tied up in container deposits. It also seeks to simplify container-related transactions for freight forwarders and other logistics companies. The partnership builds on an existing collaboration between Maersk and Viaservice in Tanzania.
