MSC TransPacific network seasonal changes and omissions

Apr 01, 2020

MSC announces TransPacific network seasonal changes and omissions due to a necessity of rationalizing capacity from April to June 2020 within its network in order to respond to lower demand due to the greater impact of the COVID-19 across Asia, USA and Canada. The network will be redesigned to ensure that the coverage is maintained with minimal disruption to the current services. A full detailed announcement will follow shortly.
