Far East Asia to North Europe AE6 – AE7 - AE55 Service

We are continuously striving to improve our product delivery and to further mitigate delays without any disruption towards your cargo delivery. In light of the current supply chain bottlenecks faced across the network, we are implementing measures to improve the AE6, AE7 and AE55 schedule reliability on the Far East Asia to North Europe network. As a result of the exceptional waiting time and congestion faced in North Europe, Maersk will reduce the number of North European port calls by consolidating the Antwerp eb & wb call on AE6 and the Rotterdam calls between both the AE6 and AE55 onto AE55. Furthermore Le Havre will be dropped from AE7 and AE55 and consolidated on the AE6.

Additionally, AE55 will no longer include Colombo and Singapore, instead adding Hong Kong and Yantian, with Colombo cargo transhipped at Hong Kong.
