The Alliance of Maersk and MSC will also change its service coverage on the AE6/Lion service by structurally omitting the Yantian Eastbound call on 16 September.

This is a result of the Covid-19 pandemic challenges, such as port congestion and delays across global supply chains, according to Maersk.
2M Alliance will implement alternative routings aiming to mitigate the impact on its customers.
