Maersk announces reduction in vessel calls on Far East and ECSA services due to lower demand
Apr, 14, 2020 Posted by Sylvia SchandertWeek 202017
On Tuesday (14/4), Maersk informed that due to the reduction in market demand in the Far East and Latin America caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it would reduce its vessel calls. This ties in with the analysis released by Datamar on April 9th showing that although vessel calls had remained strong up until March, this would reduce as of April.
The statement released by Maersk said “Maersk is working to ensure that all challenges are managed in the best possible way, including balancing our network to meet reduced demand. Maersk will continue to review demand and will continually adjust operational capacity to match it. Our goal is to minimize the impact on our customers’ supply chains, providing predictability and protecting a service plan with alternative routes in advance ”.
With this, the blank sailing schedule will be as follows:
