As the Chinese New Year holiday approaches, Maersk is looking to balance the network in light of forecast reduc-tions in demand and reduced workforce to handle cargo operations.
Our overall goal is to ensure minimal disruption to customers before, during and after Chinese New Year, with structural changes and alternative routings in place to enhance supply chain predictability.
To give you visibility on the situation as early as possible, please see below blank sailing details. We will put cover-age plans in place to enable you to keep booking via usual channels.
