Maersk Line diverts two services to Liverpool from delay-hit Felixstowe

The port of Liverpool appears to be the latest beneficiary of Felixstowe’s woes, according to Seatrade, which reports that one of the 2M’s transatlantic services and another Maersk string – the Colombia Express service to Latin America – will switch their UK calls from Felixstowe to Liverpool for the next three months, in the middle of the peak shipping season and employing the new Liverpool2 deepsea terminal. The next challenge for Liverpool will be to keep these services once Felixstowe returns to normality.
