The world’s largest container shipping alliance, 2M Alliance, has announced the revision of voyage numbers on sailings serving Asia to Europe network, which will be effective from the middle of January.
MSC, part of 2M, explained that the alliance will adjust the sailing programme due to the current challenging market situation that impacts port activities and generates congestion across the supply chain.
Hence, with the following updates on voyage numbers, MSC and Maersk aim to match the actual departure dates from Asia and, therefore, to provide better schedule reliability.
Firstly, 2M Alliance will reschedule the sailing programme on its Asia to the Mediterranean network, as follows:
