What will happen to my cargo if it is already loaded on vessels or discharged at a port in Ukraine or Russia?
Throughout this crisis, it has been key for Maersk that we minimise supply chain disruptions and do not add to the global congestion in ports and depots. However, Maersk has now stopped all vessel operations in Russia and service with Belarus. For the domestic operations, they are gradually being winded down and/or divested.
Our teams have been in close contact with our customers during the past months and for the affected cargo we have done our utmost to deliver it to initially planned end-destinations or to offer a change of destination where practicable, legally allowed and reasonable for our customers.
