Maersk has announced that it will cut a number of sailings to match demand from the Indian Subcontinent and Middle East to North Europe and Mediterranean, as a result of the Covid-19 crisis.
Maersk will implement alternated blank sailings between ME1, ME2 and ME3 services as described below. The services will be fully reinstated in line with demand pick up, according to the company.
The planned suspended vessels are listed below and are subject to change according to demand:
