Maersk consolidates transatlantic services

   Maersk Line said it is making changes in its transatlantic services this month, ending its TA1 and TA5 services.
   “We will now be operating a consolidated transatlantic service (TA2), offering reliable direct calls to US East Coast and Gulf Coast ports on Maersk Line-operated vessels,” the company said.
   Maersk said the port rotation for the TA2 will be: Rotterdam, Felixstowe, Bremerhaven, Newark, Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah, Houston, Mobile, Charleston, Norfolk, Newark and Rotterdam.
   The first westbound TA2 sailing will be the Maersk Missouri departing Rotterdam on Wednesday. The first eastbound TA2 sailing will be the Maersk Iowa departing Newark on May 18.
