It will no doubt cause the odd whine in the industry, but ‘digital’ freight forwarder Forto has raised another $50m in funding, while Maersk has “significantly” expanded its investment, reports TechCrunch.

Forto said it would use the funding to add services and expand its European and Asian operations. It claimed volumes had increased 300%, year on year.
