Due to market demand reductions globally caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, Maersk is continuing to moderate its schedule. The Danish liner company line will, therefore, extend the seasonal suspension on its TA4 service as of week 23 outbound Europe till week 25 outbound Europe.
The services are expected to resume subject to improved market demand. Maersk says it will continue to review the demand picture and will continuously adjust deployed capacity to match.
