uring the weekend of Peter M. Kristensen 14th/15th May this year, the Dcorporate office of Maersk Malaysia relocated from Port Klang to new and more spacious premises in Subang Jaya, a satellite township 15 kilometres from the capital Kuala Lumpur.

The new head office, with its ideal location, houses management, sales/marketing, centralised customer service and documentation, whereas Port Klang operations, inward documentation and the controlling office for Mercantile Consolidators are still housed in the previous location.

Maersk Line inaugurated its own operation in Malaysia on 1st February 1975, when offices were opened in Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Port Klang. Since then, to cater for the dramatic development of trade in Malaysia, further offices have been opened-Johor Bahru in 1982, Ipoh in 1989 and Malacca in 1990.

With an average growth rate of 8% over the past seven years, Malaysia is now one of the top 20 exporting nations in the world, with major exports of wood, rubber and metal products as well as electronics and textiles. Major imports, on the other hand, are chemicals, machinery, foodstuffs and transport and communications equipment.

Malaysia has a multi-racial population of 16 million and is one of the four N.I.C. (Newly Industrialised Countries) in Asia. The country aspires to becoming a fully developed and industrialised nation by the year 2020, but at the rate things are going, Malaysia seems certain of reaching this target sooner than this date. Needless to say, Maersk Malaysia is ready and willing to support Malaysia's drive towards success.

Until recently, it was normally a country's national carrier which took care of aircraft handling on behalf of all the airlines, but the E.U. has allowed this to be liberalised. This means that the different airlines now have a choice between aircraft handling companies in the individual airports and healthy competition has thereby been established, a competition which is ultimately an advantage to passengers.

On top of this comes ramp handling, which covers the handling of luggage, post and freight. Finally, load control, with the calculation of the weight and balance of the aircraft, data which are used in the pilots' flight plans, is also carried out. The majority of the international airlines using Kastrup, as well as more or less all the charter intainers, trucks, swap bodies and trailers. companies, have chosen their handling agent.

Growth in CAS continues, since the company has now taken over the freight handling company, CCC, described in Maersk Post no. 3/93, and it can now offer its customers high quality service for the handling of both passengers and air freight. Moreover, CAS has its own training department which is responsible for all staff training

The company strives to deliver products of high quality and flexibility at a competitive price.

16 TOKYO SEAFOOD SHOW 1994 he annual Tokyo International Seafood Show was held at the THarumi Exhibition area in 1994, and for the second consecutive year, Maersk Line was appointed "Official Seafood Carrier" for the event.

Since last year, the Seafood Show has dramatically increased in size and is now probably the largest of its kind in the world, reflecting the size and importance of the Japanese seafood market. A substantial increase in the number of visitors was noted, with 13,000 visitors com- pared with just over 10,000 last year, while the number of exhibitors increased from 136 to 223.

The Maersk stand was decorated as a Maersk office, with a look-alike twentyfoot reefer container forming the back wall and a ship's model as an effective eye-catcher. Posters, pictures, video and computer pre- sentations were also utilized to illustrate Maersk's worldwide activities. In front of the exhibition hall, Maersk displayed a brand new fortyfoot high cube reefer container in which an ice sculpture was displayed. The reefer container was also used to store the ice-cream, which was served by the Maersk sales staff as a welcome refresher in the hot weather to the many interested visitors.

The exhibition was a great success with many contacts with current and Block train from Italy in front of Skandi's headquarters at Høje -Tåstrup outside Copenhagen. potential customers being established during the three days.

arch 29th, 1994, stands out as a milestone for Maersk in MChina. That was the day that Maersk Line was granted an official licence to establish a fully foreign owned Chinese incorporated company. Maersk Line thus became the largest foreign container shipping line to operate in and offer a fully fledged array of shipping and transport/agency related services all over China. The name of the new company is Maersk China Shipping Company Ltd. IIA c n r^ IA Maersk past in China MAERSK Maersk Line started serving China in 1928 with the opening of the USA/Far East service calling at Shanghai. Only interrupted by the Second World War, Maersk Line's presence has been continuous and ever expanding. Between 1984 and 1993 Maersk Hong Kong Ltd. built a network of nine representative offices along the Chinese coast. By the end of 1993 these offices employed 100 people.

Prompt expansion Since the opening of Maersk China, a massive programme to expand the coverage further and to take over all agency functions has been initiated. Maersk Line's own feeder arrangements have been started from Huangpu and Shekou, Qingdao, Xingang (port of Tianjin) and Dalian, in addition to the already established joint venture feeders from Shanghai, Ningbo, and Nanjing.
