Maersk suspends service to three Japanese ports

3/18/2011 11:17:18 AM

The world's biggest container shipping company, Maersk Line, has suspended service to three tsunami-hit Japanese ports, reported Reuters. Maersk Line has suspended service to Sendai, Onahama and Hachinohe. The three ports were severely damaged by the tsunami and analysts said it would take months, if not years, for the owners to rebuild the ports. "We have limited details at this moment, but terminal facilities and our containers at these ports have suffered serious damages by the tsunami," Maersk said. "Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kobe, Osaka and Hakata ports are safe and no damages have been reported to our equipment in these yards," it said.   Cargonews Asia
