Due to market demand reductions in Latin America and Far East Asia caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges that we are all facing in managing the supply chain, Maersk is working to ensure all challenges are managed in the best way possible along this supply chain including, balancing our network to match reduced demand. We will therefore be blanking select sailings of the AC3 as per below.
Maersk will continue to review the demand picture and will continuously adjust deployed capacity to match it.
We will be ensuring the impact to our customers is minimized by rebooking the cargo to the best available product as there is sufficient capacity available via these alternative services in light of the current environment and it has been decided that ports inducement will take place on the corresponding services to ensure the continuity of current coverage with minimal disruption.
Customers may therefore continue to place bookings with limited disruption.
