Due to the congestion issues in ports impacting schedule reliability and causing delays to shipments, MSC has decided to combine the calls at Yantian, Shanghai, Felixstowe and Rotterdam for its Shogun and Griffin services starting from January until further notice.
Consequently, the Shogun service will omit Felixstowe and Shanghai and induce Rotterdam and Yantian, while the Griffin service will omit Rotterdam and Yantian but retain the calls at Felixstowe and Shanghai.
To minimise disruption to our customers caused by the exceptional congestion in several ports, additional amendments to port rotation will be made to ensure full coverage for cargo on both services.
The updated port rotations for the two services are as follows:
- Shogun service: Ningbo – Xiamen – Yantian – Tanjung Pelepas – Rotterdam – Bremerhaven – Rotterdam – Port Tangiers – Salalah – Hong Kong – Ningbo
- Griffin service: Shanghai – Ningbo – Tanjung Pelepas – Felixstowe – Le Havre – Algeciras – Singapore – Shanghai
