Maersk drops more West-Med hub calls

2/24/2012 10:09:06 AM

The ocean carrier Maersk Line has dropped more calls at its West Mediterranean hubs in Algecrias, Spain and Tangiers, Morocco on its weekly services between Asia and North Europe.

Maersk's AE7 loop has dropped calls at Algeciras in both directions, also dropping a westbound call at Xiamen and an eastbound call at Yantian. It has added a call at Nansha and a new stop westbound at Colombo.

The AE7 has a revised rotation of Qingdao, Ningbo, Shanghai, Nansha, Yantian, Tanjung Pelepas, Colombo, Felixstowe, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam, Salalah, Dubai, Nansha, and Qingdao. The service operates with 11 vessels with an average capacity of 8,329 TEUs.

The move makes sense given Maersk’s recent interest in building up Colombo as a hub for the Indian Subcontinent. Maersk had added an eastbound call at Colombo to its Asia-Europe AE1 loop, meaning that, with AE7, the two services now connect the port directly with the Northern European ports of Felixstowe, Rotterdam, and Bremerhaven in both directions, as well as Zeebrugge inbound.

On the AE10, Maersk has dropped eastbound calls at both Algeciras and Tangiers, while adding an eastbound call at Singapore

Maersk had only recently added the call at Tangiers to the AE10 service. 

The massive 11-ship average 14,848-TEU AE10 has a revised rotation of Gwangyang, Ningbo, Shanghai, Yantian, Tanjung 
Pelepas, Rotterdam, Bremerhaven, Gdansk, Aarhus, Gothenburg, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam, Singapore, Yantian, Hong Kong, and Gwangyang.
