Maersk reinstates Charleston port on Oceania service

Maersk has decided to reintroduce Charleston as a port of call on its Oceania service, replacing the port of Savannah in the service rotation.

“As we are constantly maintaining the integrity of our service offerings, and with the operational situation improving in Charleston Wando terminal despite the ongoing toe wall construction, we have taken the decision to re-instate the Charleston call on our Oceania service. We will therefore replace Savannah with Charleston Wando terminal,” said Maersk in a statement.

The Danish carrier believes that the operational situation in Cristobal does not support a return of the Oceania service.

“We will continue to monitor the situation in Cristobal and review a return of the service once operationally feasible,” noted Maersk.
