Maersk Line will enhance its transpacific service at the end of May to provide better coverage of key markets in Asia and North America. The expanded coverage, in particular, of the Yangtze River region and outlying cities is a direct result of listening to customer preferences and responding to their needs, according to Maersk.
The new network will also enable Maersk to continue with its cost effective transportation and reduce carbon footprints. The service changes include a new Qingdao call added to the TP8 service, a new Ningbo call to the TP2 coverage, a TP5 service with expanded coverage of Japan, and a comprehensive TP6 service from Southeast Asia and China to and from the US West Coast.
The new rotation integrates double coverage in some key ports such as Ningbo and Shanghai to the Pacific Southwest ports so cargo can be switched to other strings for uninterrupted deliveries during peak shipping seasons, Maersk highlighted. With the intra-Asia feeder options, Maersk aims to penetrate more than 100 local market locations and integrate these areas with its vast service network.
