    Due to increased waiting times and congestion at terminals in South East Asia, Maersk has decided to implement seasonal schedules to mitigate delays and improve schedule integrity.

    Maersk’s SAFINA service will move from West Port to North Port in Port Kelang, Malaysia, and will shift calls from Singapore to Tanjung Pelepas. These changes will be effective until the end of the year.

    Additionally, Maersk’s FI3 service will also transition from West Port to North Port in Port Kelang and will call Singapore fortnightly until the end of the year. The FI3 service will omit the Colombo call until the end of September.
