2M’s partners Maersk and Mediterranean Shipping announced on June 2nd that their AE7/Condor Loop 4 will have a blank sailing and cancel calling at Hamburg in the next four weeks for unloading in Bremerhaven.

Maersk said, “Due to the high density of storage yards, our ships have a particularly long waiting time in the Port of Hamburg” and therefore this decision was made.

In view of the reliability of the shipping schedule, Maersk is implementing specific measures to improve the reliability of the AE7 service on its Far East to Nordic network. Due to the high storage yard density in the Port of Hamburg and the extremely long waiting time for ships, Maersk decided not to call at Port of Hamburg in the next four voyages and change the unloading place to Bremen NTB as the final unloading port. Maersk states that it will try to ensure the operation of following alternative routes to minimize the impact on customers.
