Danish containership giant Maersk Line has unveiled a reorganisation of its Asia-Europe services to boost reliability.

The owner said the enhancements build on network changes in May, but could lead to "slightly prolonged transits."

Six extra vessels will be added across its ten strings in the network, with weekly deployed capacity remaining unchanged due to slower ship speeds.

“To meet our customer’s increasing need for reliable cargo delivery, we have reviewed our service network and identified additional time to recover from the potential delays we continue to face from bad weather and other external factors," said Johan Sigsgaard, head of Europe trade.
