Maersk

A. P. Moller-Maersk is a Danish integrated logistics and container shipping company and one of the world's largest container shipping lines. Maersk operates ocean transport (Maersk Line), port and terminal operations (APM Terminals), supply-chain management, air cargo (Maersk Air Cargo), inland services, and customs solutions, connecting ports across more than 130 countries with end-to-end supply chain offerings. Maersk operates a public developer portal at developer.maersk.com that hosts APIs for shipping customers and partners covering tracking, schedules, rates, bookings, and related logistics workflows.

human only

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Maersk the way a machine reads it — 10 machine-readable artifacts across 5 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Maersk scores 20.1/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Maersk

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Maersk. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 5

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Track and Trace API

RESTful API that returns neutralized container and shipment milestones across Maersk's ocean network, enabling supply-chain visibility for shippers, BCOs, and downstream visibil...

Point-to-Point Schedules API

Sailing schedules between origin and destination locations, including vessel, voyage, transshipment, and lead-time data; used for routing, booking, and supply-chain planning.

Locations API

Authoritative directory of Maersk service locations (ports, terminals, depots, inland points) with UN/LOCODE, geo-coordinates, and operational capabilities for use in upstream b...

Captain Peter API

API for the Captain Peter remote-monitoring service for refrigerated containers; surfaces temperature, humidity, atmosphere, power, and alarm telemetry for perishables in transit.

Booking APIs

Suite of pre-booking, booking, and post-booking APIs covering rate requests, booking creation, amendments, documentation, and shipment lifecycle management.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
