West Central Asia/Europe network: Capacity reduction at Maersk Line

In its continuous effort to provide customers with an attractive and competitive West Central Asia/Europe network – both in terms of capacity and coverage – Maersk Line is enhancing the ME1, ME2 and ME3 services and discontinuing the ME5 service with effect from October 2015.
The closure of the ME5 will result in a capacity reduction corresponding to approximately 16 percent of the dedicated West Central Asia/Europe service capacity.
“The termination of the service will not impact our ability to serve our customers in the market that the ME5 covers. We are adding new port calls to the ME1, ME2, ME3 services and, at the same time, launching a dedicated feeder shuttle between Chennai, Colombo and Salalah to ensure a world-class product between West Central Asia and Europe”, Maersk Line announces.
