The recent unprecedented situation of severe port congestions globally has resulted in accumulation of delay across several services on the North America-South Africa Network. This is driven by a combination of rapidly increased demand and measures to fight the pandemic across ports and supply chains in general, leading to gaps in the schedules.

To provide improved schedule reliability to our customers and after careful review of the schedules, Maersk has decided to miss a sailing on the Amex service.

The Northern Defender will miss its 139S voyage ex-North America in week 39, and subsequently its 143N voyage ex-South Africa in week 43. This will allow the service to be reset and improve the reliability of the schedules.
