Maersk reduces booking acceptance globally due to Suez Canal blockage

Maersk said it has lost almost a week of capacity due to the Suez Canal blockage and has decided to reduce its booking acceptance temporarily, so the company can ensure the delivery of the booked cargo.

[s2If is_user_logged_in()]”As we begin to better understand the impact of the delays across the vessels, port and terminal backlogs, we will be able to open Maersk Spot booking acceptance again on affected trading routes,” stated the line in its announcement yesterday (1 April).

The Danish carrier noted that besides the geographical services mentioned above, it “will be accepting short term bookings on all other services, where local availability allows.

Additionally, Maersk recognises the high urgency to get the services back on schedule. “We have had near 50 vessels delayed for a full week or more due to the Suez blockage, either waiting at the Canal or being redirected via South of Africa,” said the company.
