“Pioneering isn’t simply about being first. Sometimes, it’s about having the courage to change.”

For more than three decades, Samskip has grown by challenging convention, adapting to changing markets, and continuously finding better ways to serve customers. That pioneering spirit has never been about standing still. It has always been about moving forward with purpose.

Today, that journey continues.

The recent transition of part of our UK and Ireland business to CLdN marks an important milestone in Samskip’s evolution. While every transition brings change, it also creates opportunity. It allows us to sharpen our focus, strengthen our network, and invest even further in the areas where we can create the greatest value for our customers.

That focus is reflected in the three strategic pillars guiding our organization today: Reliable Service, Customer Centricity, and a Strong Network. Together, they shape how we work, how we invest, and how we continue building a business ready for tomorrow.

Reliable Service: Confidence Every Step of the Way

Reliability is more than arriving on time. It is about giving customers peace of mind.

Across our organization, we are strengthening our end-to-end approach to logistics, continuously raising the bar on operational excellence, visibility, and service consistency. Every investment we make, whether in regional operations, digital innovation, equipment, or network optimization, has one objective: helping customers move their goods with confidence.

In an increasingly complex supply chain environment, reliability remains the foundation on which lasting partnerships are built.

Customer Centricity: Solutions Built Around Our Customers

Every customer has different priorities, challenges, and ambitions. That is why our approach begins by understanding their business.

Our teams combine local knowledge with international expertise to deliver tailored multimodal solutions supported by a broad range of equipment, in-house customs capabilities, owned trucking capacity, and digital tools that help customers navigate increasingly complex supply chains.

Being customer-centric also means being close to our customers. With regional teams who understand local markets, speak the local language, and build long-term relationships, we combine the strength of an international logistics provider with the responsiveness and personal service of a trusted local partner.

Listening also plays an essential role. The insights gathered through our recent Customer Satisfaction Survey continue to shape the way we improve our services, strengthen customer relationships, and focus our investments where they create the greatest value.

A Strong Network: Local Strength, European Reach, Global Capability

One of Samskip’s greatest strengths has always been the combination of strong regional expertise and an integrated international network.

Today, that network is more focused than ever.

Our regional products remain firmly rooted across Scandinavia, the Baltics and Finland, Iceland, Iberia, Morocco, the UK and Ireland, Italy, Poland, and Central and Eastern Europe. These are connected through reliable direct services, our strategically located hubs in Rotterdam and Duisburg, and an extensive multimodal network linking customers across Europe.

Complementing this network is Samskip Logistics, providing global freight forwarding, customs expertise, and end-to-end logistics solutions through offices spanning Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Australia.

Together, these capabilities allow us to offer customers something increasingly valuable: strong regional expertise combined with the flexibility, resilience, and reach of one integrated logistics network.

Whether moving cargo across Europe or around the world, customers benefit from reliable scheduled services, modal flexibility, local knowledge, and tailored logistics solutions supported by one trusted partner.

A Familiar Samskip, A New Organization, and Looking Ahead

Perhaps this is what pioneering has always meant. Not simply introducing something new, but having the confidence to evolve, the courage to make difficult decisions, and the vision to continuously adapt to changing markets, customer expectations, and the world around us.

As we look ahead, our direction is clear: A stronger focus, a simpler organization, a more resilient network and deeper commitment to our customers.

The next chapter of Samskip is already underway. And while the way we operate continues to evolve, one thing remains unchanged:

Our commitment towards delivering reliable logistics solutions, building lasting customer partnerships, and creating long-term value through people, innovation, and a network designed for the future.
