FEA-EAF Trade: Mashariki Express Blank Sailing

28 April 2020

On top of our already announced blank sailings in relation to the COVID-19 effect, we have seen a further reduction in demand due to the slowness of the transition period.

Maersk endeavors to balance its network to match reduced demand. As a result, we would like to hereby inform you of a blank sailing for the Mashariki service week 20. Our normal weekly service will continue from week 21 onwards. Our aim is to plan your cargo onto the fastest available alternative vessel to minimize any delays.

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

Impacted Trade : Far East to Kenya and Tanzania
