2020 Golden Week Blank Sailings – Asia-North Europe Network

Due to the anticipated slowdown in demand during and after the Golden Week holiday, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company plans to exclude sailings during this period, followed by a temporary structural adjustment to its Asia-North Europe Network.

The change will help us to match capacity with the expected weaker market demand for shipping services.

Our Dragon and Swan services remain suspended until further notice.

However, cutomers 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
