Maersk to offer more frequent Asia-Europe service
The world's biggest container shipping company, Maersk Line, will introduce more frequent service on its Asia-Europe trade lane with 70 vessels between four ports in Asia and three in Europe, Maersk said on Monday, Reuters reports. The vessels will operate a daily service between Ningbo, Shanghai, Yantian in China and Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia, Felixstowe in the UK, Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Bremerhaven in Germany, Maersk Line, a unit of Danish shipping and oil group A.P. Moller-Maersk said in a statement.
"Regardless of which of the four Asian ports the cargo is loaded at, the transportation time - from cut-off to cargo availability - is fixed," Maersk said. "Daily cut-offs mean that cargo can be shipped immediately after production without the need for storage."
