Schedule Update – Trade Asia to USA East Coast

10/10/2024

Due to ongoing congestion at ports across the US East Coast caused by the recent East and Gulf Coast port work stoppage, we are compelled to implement blank sailings on our Asia to US East and Gulf Coast services.

The situation is significantly impacting port operations, leading to delays in cargo handling times and a buildup of vessels waiting at the ports. This delay significantly impacts the ability of the vessels listed below to return to Asia in time to resume their rotation.

As such, we would like to inform you about the following blank sailings:
