As the Golden Week national holiday period in China approaches, Maersk is looking to balance the network in light of forecast reductions in demand and reduced workforce to handle cargo operations.
Our overall goal is to ensure minimal disruption to customers before, during and after Golden Week, with structural changes and alternative routings in place to enhance supply chain predictability.
In order to give you as much visibility on the situation as early as possible, please see below blank sailing details, we will make sure coverage plans will be in place so you can keep booking on usual channels.
