"We are responding to increased demand in the transpacific. With supply chains disrupted, many customers are approaching us for transport solutions for their cargo," said Maersk east-west network chief Klaus Rud Sejling, without mentioning the absence of the ships of the recently bankrupted Hanjin line, which these "extra loaders" will help replace.
Maersk`s TP1 service will be calling Yantian, Shanghai, Busan and Los Angeles/Long Beach. It will have six vessels with a capacity of 4,000 TEU per week deployed. The TP1 service will be part of the 2M network.
Copenhagen-based Maersk Line is the world`s biggest container shipping company with 306 offices in 114 countries. We employ 7,700 seafarers and 22,000 land-based employees and operate 630 container vessels.
