Following the establishment of a new Commercial JV, P&O Ferrymasters is in transition from a Business Unit led organization to a product driven organization with an asset heavy product set-up and a Pan-European asset light organization.

The logistics product is formed by bringing together the former contract logistics and freight management organization and aims to instill customer centricity, uniformity, transparency and ease of doing business both for our customers as well as our partners with whom E2E solutions are developed and executed.
A primary objective for the logistics product is to roll-out a centrally organized and managed carrier management department with a Pan-European scope delivering both solutions internally to the various geographical offices as well as be the 1st point of contact for the commercial organization in designing, proposing and implementing new solutions for both existing as well as new Customers.
