** Voices of Breakbulk Americas, sponsored by Logiswift **

Maersk is best known as a global container shipping powerhouse – but in recent years, it has been moving beyond the box. With the acquisition of an independent project forwarder and the creation of Maersk Project Logistics, the company has built a dedicated platform to serve the complex world of project cargo and heavy lift.

In this episode, Lana Warren, head of Maersk Project Logistics in North America, shares how the projects division was formed, what makes it different from Maersk’s container business, and how the integration of Martin Bencher has created a global team delivering end-to-end project solutions across all five regions.

Lana also reflects on customer priorities today – from communication and visibility to navigating tariffs and infrastructure bottlenecks – and discusses the opportunities she sees in energy, renewables and government cargo. Along the way, she shares career highlights, lessons from decades in project forwarding, and why she believes logistics remains one of the most rewarding industries to join.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• How Maersk Project Logistics was strengthened by the Martin Bencher acquisition
• The role of assets, terminals, warehousing and trucking in delivering integrated solutions
• Case studies, including the movement of oversized LNG tanks from South Korea to the U.S.
• Insights on customer concerns, from visibility to tariffs
• Reflections on mentorship, gender in shipping, and career resilience
