In connection with the upcoming Golden Week period, Maersk has endeavoured to balance our network to match reduced demand. We aim to minimize the impact to our customers supply chain and provide predicta-bility by making a structural change and securing alternative routings.
We will start the temporary suspension of the AE2 service already from week 39. This is one week earlier than our previous announcement. The service will be suspended until mid-November and will resume in line with demand pickup. We will of course notify you in due course. To ensure our customers will not face any business disruption, all port calls on the AE2 service will be covered on other services in our network.
The first AE2 vessel voyage to be suspended is:
