Far East to North Europe – Q4 cancelled sailings due to predicted lack of demand on the Asia to North Europe trade in Q4 and the seasonal port closures during the Christmas holidays in North Europe, Maersk Line will cancel sailings to increase the efficiency of our fleet. In order to provide our customers with ample time to plan their shipments around changes in sailing schedules, we now announce four AE6 cancelled sailings scheduled in Q4. The impact on customers has been minimized by securing alternate routings wherever possible. The cancelled sailings will have minimal impact on transit time during this period and Maersk Line will continue to deliver best-in-class service.
Below please find the westbound AE6 cancelled sailings.
