Seasonal Capacity Adjustment on East Africa Services due to COVID-19 Impact

14 April 2020

Due to market demand reductions in Europe, Middle East, India Sub Continent and East Africa 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 adjusting the sailing frequency on the Masiika and Mawingu services.

The Quarter 2 sailings to be blanked on the Masiika and Mawingu services are listed below. We expect to resume weekly sailings subject to improved market demand to which we will inform you in due course. Maersk will continue to review the demand picture and continuously adjust deployed capacity to match.

If you have further questions, we encourage you to visit Maersk website or liaise with your local Maersk customer service representatives.
