Asia and North Europe - National Golden Week vessel cancellations

Owing to the approach of the National Day Golden Week celebrations in October, we have made certain changes to our network to absorb the decreased demand as production flows slow down on account of factories being closed during this period.

Westbound sailings impacted by the National Day Golden Week are listed below:

Week 40 (3-9 October)
AE8 Maersk Emden / voy.1110 - will be cancelled
AE9 Maersk Sembawang / voy.1112 - will be cancelled

WEEK 41 (10-16 October)
AE8 Maersk Essen / voy.1110 - will be cancelled
AE9 Maersk Serangoon / voy.1112 - will be cancelled

In order to ensure that customers are minimally inconvenienced, we will endeavour to cover requirements by shifting volumes to other services in our network that cover similar geographies.

If your shipment must get on board, you now have options

The answer is Yes

As hard as we strive to ensure available capacity, vessels do fill up – and customers like you are sometimes unable to complete a booking. That’s why we’ve introduced the Priority Product upgrade – a money-back, priority loading that you purchase at the time of booking, in cases where your booking would otherwise be rejected.
