• AE1/Shogun Rotation Westbound

Ningbo– Shanghai – Xiamen – Tanjung Pelepas – Felixstowe – Rotterdam – Bremerhaven

• AE6/Lion Rotation Westbound

Ningbo – Shanghai – Yantian – Tanjung Pelepas – Sines- Antwerp – Le Havre – Felixstowe – Algeciras

The reinstatement of the port calls will be introduced effective from the following vessels:

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.
