Shipping Lines : Maersk-Update to Vessel blockage in the Suez Canal

We are pleased to see the queue of vessels waiting to transit the Suez Canal steadily going down. Maersk and partners are working hard to transit our vessels through the canal and all those initially queuing up at anchorage is now en route to their next destination. As new inbound vessels reach the canal, our aim is that these vessels will only experience a 1-2-day delay and that by Wednesday we will have a blank sheet. See the updated vessel list below.

*Please note that the vessel lists might be subject to change as we continue to divert vessels where possible.
*Waiting at anchorage: vessel has already arrived at Suez while waiting to pass through the canal.
*En route to Suez: vessel has completed operations in previous ports and on their way to Suez.

The integrity of our products is paramount to serving all our customers and we are working continuously to mitigate the felt impact for our customers and to ensure reliability in our operations. This is the reason we have decided to reduce our Maersk Spot booking acceptance temporarily, so we can ensure that what we sell to our customers, we can deliver.
Our people are working relentlessly with all the information at hand to alleviate the knock-on effects of the Suez blockage. As we begin to better understand the impact of the delays across the vessels, port and terminal backlogs, we will be able to open Maersk Spot booking acceptance again on affected trading routes.
This will entail that we once again can continue to cater to all the needs of our customers. Already starting this week, we expect to be able to indicate when we can open what trades again for short-term bookings. Below is the overview of affected trades.

We still foresee limitations of both space and equipment in the weeks to come, so please continue to prioritise the most urgent/critical goods to be shipped first. Our teams are here to help, so do not hesitate to reach out to discuss opportunities at hands.
We want to advise our customers that shipments not directly impacted by the Suez blockage might also be affected as we adjust our network to avoid port congestions and to limit the overall net loss of ocean network capacity due to omitted ports as a result of redirecting 12 vessels. To give you as much visibility into the situation as possible, please see our AI-powered predictive analysis and estimated times of arrival (ETA). As a Maersk customer you can also make use our interactive map functionality. Click here to login to the Hub.
Giving you the best ability to manage your supply chain is of the utmost priority to us and we are working to give you the tools and information you need to do so. Throughout this process we aim to give as much clarity and notice as possible. Our teams are here to serve you, so please contact us if you have any questions.
Please also note that as the Suez situation deescalates, we will be emailing you less frequently. However, our web advisory will always hold the latest updates.
