Maersk Line enhances the Europe to Middle East service

Denmark's Maersk Line has announced plans to enhance its ME3 service between Europe and the Middle East.

Maersk Line will phase in larger ships on the service, substituting the present 5,500TEU vessels with 6,250TEU vessels. The upgrade will commence on June 7, 2008 with the ‘Maersk Kensington' departing from Algeciras. The phase-in period is scheduled over four weeks. To further improve the schedule reliability of the ME3 service, an additional vessel will be added in order to provide sufficient buffering in the schedule for operational contingencies. The port rotation remains the same, except for the addition of a call at Tangiers, Morocco.
