CARGO DELAY FOR SHIPMENTS ON MAERSK EINDHOVEN
We wanted to share an update on the status of your cargo onboard the Maersk Eindhoven, voyage 317W, sailing on the Maersk TP12 service. The vessel has encountered mechanical issues at the Port of New York/New Jersey. The vessel was able to offload its imports destined for Newark at APM Terminal in Elisabeth on April 30. However, the vessel will need to undergo repairs prior to completing its voyage to Norfolk and Baltimore.

All cargo is safe and the vessel has engine power. The Maersk Eindhoven was originally scheduled to arrive in Norfolk on May 3 and in Baltimore on May 6 to discharge its remaining import cargo. Preliminary estimates indicate the ship’s arrival at Norfolk and Baltimore could be delayed by 7-10 days. However, this is an evolving situation, and we are unable to provide a precise ETA for your cargo at this time.

Exports scheduled to load the Maersk Eindhoven will be shipped via the next available vessel to the destination. The Customer Experience Team is finalizing the plan for export bookings and will send out updated booking confirmations once the plan has been finalized.

We are currently working with repair teams, regulatory agencies, and regional terminal authorities to get your cargo to its intended destination as soon as possible.
We are monitoring the situation closely and will share updates regarding the disposition of your cargo and the vessel as they become available. For specific updates on your cargo’s status, please utilize our cargo tracking feature on Maersk.com.
We apologize for the delay in service and greatly appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this situation as quickly as possible.
