2M Alliance announces temporary port rotation changes in four services

2M Alliance, comprising the world’s leading shipping lines Maersk and Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), has announced the implementation of port omissions in four of its services, Liberty/TP23, America/TP17, Shogun/AE1, Griffin/AE55.

In particular, MSC explained in a statement that the alliance has decided to combine the calls at Savannah and New York for its Liberty/TP23 and America/TP71 services from the middle of January until further notice, to “provide better schedule reliability, amid congestion issues in the US East Coast ports.”

Consequently, the world’s largest container shipping alliance will skip Savannah on Liberty/TP23 service and, therefore, Savannah cargo will be loaded on America/TP17 service. Accordingly, the call at the Port of New York on America/TP17 service will be omitted and New York cargo will be transported on Liberty/TP23 service.

The updated port rotations for the two services will be as follows:

  • Liberty/TP23 service: Vung Tau – Yantian – Panama – Charleston – New York – Tanjung Pelepas
  • America/TP17 service: Hong Kong – Nansha – Yantian – Vung Tau – Singapore – Savannah – Miami – Freeport – Tanjung Pelepas

First sailings with the revised rotations

In addition, 2M Alliance will combine the calls at the ports of Yantian, Shanghai, Felixstowe and Rotterdam for its Shogun/AE1 and Griffin/ AE55 services, taking effect in January until further notice.

Therefore, the Shogun/AE1 service will bypass Felixstowe and Shanghai and induce Rotterdam and Yantian, while the Griffin/AE55 service will omit Rotterdam and Yantian but retain the calls at Felixstowe and Shanghai, according to a statement.

As a result, the updated port rotations for the two services will be the following:

  • Shogun/AE1 service: Ningbo – Xiamen – Yantian – Tanjung Pelepas – Rotterdam – Bremerhaven – Rotterdam – Port Tangiers – Salalah – Hong Kong – Ningbo
  • Griffin/AE55 service: Shanghai – Ningbo – Tanjung Pelepas – Felixstowe – Le Havre – Algeciras – Singapore – Shanghai

First sailings with the revised rotations

“To minimise disruption to our customers, caused by the exceptional congestion in several ports, additional amendments to port rotation will be made to ensure full coverage for cargo on both services,” said MSC in a statement.
