The world has seen massive change over the last five years. Climate change, geopolitical conflicts, a global pandemic and shifting alliances have all impacted supply chains in all aspects. As we near the end of 2025, the industry has faced a myriad of challenges that have significantly impacted supply chains and logistics.
In this episode of Maersk’s Beyond the Box podcast, hosts Kyra Van Den Berg and Nichole Allem dive into the topic of landside logistics — one of the most complex parts of the supply chain. Joining them are McKinsey & Company experts Sal Arora, Global Co-Leader for Travel, Logistics & Infrastructure, and Ali Kamil, Associate Partner, to discuss how technology and collaboration are driving change.
Together, they explore:
- Current technologies driving efficiency, safety, and visibility in trucking and warehousing
- Why “blind handoffs” remain a major challenge in landside logistics
- How AI, telematics, and automation are transforming operations
- The role of infrastructure — both physical and digital — in enabling adoption
- Why the human element is the key to scaling innovation and unlocking real business value
Whether you’re a logistics professional, supply chain strategist, or business leader, this episode offers a practical look into the technologies and human collaboration shaping the future of landside logistics.
