Maersk has added additional sailings between China/Korea and the US East Coast
on its extra loader program for overflow cargo, retaining the routing via the
Panama Canal despite ongoing draft restrictions and congestion.
Maersk has deployed 8 extra sailings to the US East Coast since the beginning of
July 2023 using ships of 3,000-7,000 teu, of which 6 sailings took the Panama
route without encountering any significant delays, while 2 sailings were routed
via the Suez Canal.
