Far East Asia to Europe Services Schedule reliability improvement measures during Chinese New Year

In light of ongoing schedule reliability considerations, Maersk is implementing measures to improve schedule reliability in its Far East Asia to Europe network. In combination with the Chinese New Year period, Maersk will have four (4) missed sailings and aim to free up these services for schedule recovery measures to respond to the recent, unprecedented market situation with severe port congestion and equipment limitations across global supply chains. This situation has been driven by a combination of rapidly increased demand and measures to fight the pandemic that led to slower supply chain operations across ports, inland depots, warehouses and inland transport modes. We aim to minimize the impact to our customers by securing alternative routings as per below.
