Maersk cuts Newark from SAE loop
Maersk Line said this week it is eliminating a call at Newark on its South Atlantic Express service, which links the U.S. East and Gulf coasts with Central America.
The service will have a revised rotation of Puerto Cortes, Santo Tomas, Miami, Savannah, Wilmington (N.C.), Norfolk, Miami and Puerto Cortes.
Maersk said eliminating the Newark call would enable faster transit times from Central America to Norfolk and from Norfolk and Savannah to Central America.
The service is operated with three Maersk vessels, with an average capacity of 1,505 TEUs, according to American Shipper affiliate ComPair Data. APL is a slot buyer.
The revised rotation goes into effect Sept. 27. ' Eric Johnson
