The world’s leading container shipping alliance 2M Alliance, comprising Maersk and Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), has announced new sailing omissions in Griffin/AE55 and Condor/AE7 services, connecting East Asia with North Europe.

Firstly, 2M Alliance will implement a blank sailing on Griffin/AE55 service that will take effect on the 17th week of the year. Capture.PNG

Maersk explained in a statement that these schedule updates are due to bottlenecks across the Asia-North Europe network, that contributed to an accumulation of delays in 2M’s services.

The situation is driven by a number of external factors, chiefly terminal congestion, and the delay accumulation for the services has resulted in gaps in the departure schedules that require adjustment, according to the Danish carrier.
