Maersk makes short-term adjustment to services to help mitigate Felixstowe bottlenecks

A.P. Moller – Maersk has relocated its ME7 westbound call from Felixstowe to London Gateway to mitigate the effects of the ongoing congestion and port disruptions.

The first vessel/voyage to be relocated is the W Klaipeda, which has an ETA at London Gateway on Monday November 1 at six pm.

In a customer advisory, Maersk said: “In view of ongoing berth congestion and resulting delays in Felixstowe, by provisionally diverting the vessels that are currently waiting and bringing our customers cargo back on smaller vessels, we expect to minimise the current delays our customers are experiencing.”
