The following announcement supersedes our announcement of 7 September 2020 about Asia-North America network blank sailings.
MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company plans to exclude sailings during Golden Week holiday on its Asia-North America Network due to the anticipated slowdown in demand during and after this period.
The change will help us to match capacity with the expected weaker market demand for shipping services.
However, you may continue to place bookings as usual as we are arranging alternate routings.
Our blank sailing programme will start as from week 40 as per the below:
