A somewhat alarming Maersk press release appears here: Temporary cease of booking - North Europe to Asia (Eastbound)* Dear customer, As a result of a large number of consecutive vessel cancellations following Chinese New Year, a significant cargo backlog has been created in North Europe. This has reached an unprecedented level unfortunately necessitating a complete booking stop, effective immediately, in order to prevent further escalation of the backlog. The booking stop is temporary and we are working to clear it as soon as possible so that we can resume booking acceptance as usual. Based on the current situation, an early estimate is for the backlog to be cleared by early May. We are implementing this complete booking stop to ensure we prioritise and deliver on the bookings we have already accepted. By implementing this booking stop, we take action to resolve the situation at the soonest possible, and also hope this will allow you to make alternative arrangements for your cargo flows to minimise impact to your supply chain. For further questions, please contact your local Maersk Line representative
