ANL temporarily removes Qingdao from ACX service

ANL will temporarily omit Qingdao from its ACX service for five weeks due to ongoing port congestion in Asia. The temporary change will begin with Colombo voyages 084N/085S. ANL said the adjustment aims to limit further disruption to the service. In addition, OOCL Norfolk voyages 308N/309S will omit Sydney and Shanghai to prevent vessels from bunching. ANL advised customers to contact the relevant local terminals for the latest cargo-receiving information.
