Due to the current challenging market situation impacting port activities, generating congestion and schedule delays across the supply chain, 2M Alliance has decided to adjust the sailing programme on its Transpacific West Coast US & Canada services to match the actual departure dates from Asia.
This action comes a few days later from 2M Alliance’s decision to delay the return of Transpacific EC services due to operational constraints.
MSC, which partners Maersk in the 2M Alliance, has announced the revision of the voyage numbers on the services below aiming to provide “better schedule reliability.”
