Maersk outlines limited return to Suez corridor as European port congestion persists
Maersk is implementing a limited return to the Suez corridor, restricting changes to specific services rather than restarting its full Asia-Europe connections via Suez. Schedule shifts, congestion and capacity limits are affecting the wider maritime network, with operational problems at Northern European and Mediterranean ports. Conditions on the Rhine are reducing barge capacity for inland terminals, while water levels are monitored. European compliance and customs updates are also highlighted, alongside rising air-cargo demand.
