Maersk Eindhoven

The world’s largest shipping line says it has changed its ways and is no longer playing the spot market, instead going steady with long-term partners.

The ocean carrier has not said when customers can expect to receive damaged or intact cargo.

The Maersk Eindhoven, which lost 260 containers overboard, is slated to berth for repairs in Japan on Thursday.

More than 2,900 containers have gone overboard just since the end of November.

Six cases of at-sea container losses have been reported in less than three months.
