In light of the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the A.P. Moller, Maersk has issued a recent update announcing that they are closely monitoring and preparing to comply with the ever-evolving sanctions and restrictions while also considering a possible suspension of Maersk bookings to and from Russia on ocean and inland.
Maersk further said that they are keeping a close eye on developments and assessing the best options for their customers and their cargo. ”For cargo already on the water we will do our utmost to deliver it to its intended destination. We have a sharp focus on safeguarding reefer containers and keeping cold chain operations as stable as possible, as the commodities include important goods such as groceries and pharmaceuticals. We are doing everything possible to prevent risk to the above cargo and in turn risk to the end-users in need of these commodities. It’s also worth noting that air space is also gradually being restricted and our air services will be impacted.” the company said and highlighted that the security and well-being of Maersk employees remains a top priority
We have global coverage for any customer requests coming to the Ukraine Customer Experience teams. Normal requests will be handled as usual, but we ask for patience as global teams handle country-specific requests.
