The story

Inside Sealand

The Sealand name carries extraordinary heritage: the original Sea-Land Service was founded on Malcom McLean’s 1956 invention of the modern shipping container, the innovation that transformed world trade.

Today Sealand is a Maersk company, relaunched in 2015 as a regionally focused brand for the Americas, combining local expertise with the scale of the Maersk network.
