DUBLIN, June 22 (Reuters) - The breakeven point for
logistics giant Maersk to ship goods and cargo has
risen by more than 25% due to an array of inflationary pressures
that will abate but not return to pre-COVID-19 levels, a senior
executive said on Wednesday.
"There will be a world where the disruptions, congestions
and the inflation we have seen in air and ocean will abate,"
Vincent Clerc, chief executive of Ocean and Logistics at the
world's biggest container shipping company told the Consumer
Goods Forum's Global Summit conference in Dublin.
"But the regression to the mean is not the regression to the
mean that we had prior to COVID, it's a different mean. The
costs that we have to produce have significantly increased."
