Meanwhile, the expansion of APM Terminals in Rotterdam continues; as a result, rail services operating under the \u201cmerchant haulage\u201d scheme will be suspended for six months starting July 1, 2026, while \u201ccarrier haulage\u201d services will continue to operate. In the south, adverse weather conditions are complicating terminal operations in Port Said and Mersin, impacting vessel handling and berthing schedules; Maersk teams are working in conjunction with port authorities to develop plans for cargo evacuation.<\/p>\n<p>Air freight services connecting Asia, the Middle East, and Europe are also facing additional pressure. Airlines are adjusting schedules due to airspace restrictions, a reduction in passenger flights, and rising jet fuel prices \u2013 factors that are diminishing available \u201cbelly cargo\u201d capacity and leading to flight cancellations and re-routing. In response, Maersk is expanding its use of alternative solutions, including dedicated freighter flights, routes via stable hubs located outside the Persian Gulf region, multimodal sea-air schemes, and overland corridors across the Middle East. Concurrently, the company has updated its digital services for e-commerce, adding a real-time geolocation-based pickup point search function to its PUDO API, thereby allowing end recipients to select the nearest delivery locations during the checkout process.<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maersk has reported that the shipping environment in the Strait of Hormuz area remains tense amidst recent vessel detentions in the region.
