The X International AEO Semiar was an excellent event. The best seminar so far. A full house woth a long waiting list & many people online. Great programme, panels & speakers. Tremendous progress reported. Many productive client meetings.

It was also great to see so many friends from the Customs family this week in São Paulo this week.

I took some selfies – but also had more than 100 people asking for a selfie. A special feeling of warm friendly humbleness & recognition for the fact that people have appreciated that I have been here in Brazil working to support development the last 20 years.

Back on stage in São Paulo. This time talking about the future of trade & customs – including the Maersk integrator strategy, supply chains visibility, smart borders, trusted trade lanes & more.

I also presented our ’Maersk Atlas powered by Altana’ ESG trade compliance solution.

Get ready. The future is officially here.

Excellent presentation on Integrated AEO by Claudia Regina Leão do Nascimento Thomaz, Undersecretary of Customs (Head of Customs Receita Federal), Brazil.

Brazil is global world leader on integration of border agencies in the AEO concept. Amazing work & great progress for international trade!
