“Maersk Line is carefully watching market developments and reviewing customer requirements. Once these are made clear we will release a plan designed to replace TP1 capacity. You can expect to see this plan in the third quarter when customer requirements for 2011 will be better known.' said Lars Mikael Jensen, Maersk Line vice president, network and product.
The weekly TP1 calls Yantian, Xiamen, Kaohsiung, Los Angeles, Oakland, Honolulu and Guam, and Horizon Lines operates five vessels in this service.
Maersk Line said it used the entire 2,200-TEU capacity on the Horizon ships eastbound, and a small amount of space on the westbound rotation. Empty westbound Maersk Line containers are utilized by Horizon Lines for their West Coast customers to ship cargo to Hawaii and Guam.
