Maersk has announced blank sailings on its NEOBOSSANOVA and NEOSAMBA services connecting East Coast South America with Europe, citing continued severe weather conditions across South-Western and Western Europe.
On the NEOBOSSANOVA service, adverse weather has continued to impact operations, prompting Maersk to slide the service at Itapoá to mitigate further disruption. The first vessel affected will be CMA CGM Rodolphe 608N. The impacted sailings include voyage 608N, with an estimated departure from Itapoá on 17 February 2026, and voyage 611S, departing Tangier Med on 9 March 2026.
Similarly, on the NEOSAMBA service, weather-related restrictions have affected vessel transits, leading Maersk to slide the service at Buenos Aires. The first vessel impacted will be Maersk Laguna 607N. Affected sailings include voyage 607N, with an estimated departure from Buenos Aires on 14 February 2026, and voyage 611S, departing Southampton on 13 March 2026.
Maersk said the adjustments are intended to manage ongoing disruption and maintain service reliability as weather conditions continue to affect European port operations.
