Maersk Line's Asia-Europe service changes

Denmark-based Maersk Line is adding a Hamburg port call on its Asia-Europe 8 service (AE8).

The first vessel in the new rotation will be the ‘Maersk Sarnia’, which will depart from Shanghai, China, on August 30, 2008 and is scheduled to arrive in Hamburg, Germany, on September 29, 2008. The new AE8 rotation is as follows: Shanghai – Ningbo - Kaohsiung - Yantian - Tanjung Pelepas – Hamburg. At the same time, Maersk Line will remove the Southampton call from the AE8 service. The last AE8 call will be by ‘Maersk Taikung’, which arrives in Southampton on September 19. Four direct services, AE1, AE2, AE9, and AE10, will continue serving the Asia-United Kingdom trade with direct calls to Southampton and Felixstowe.
