A major container shipping company has announced it will no longer use the Port of Felixstowe for its larger vessels from next year.
Maersk said the changes would take effect in February following a review of its Asia-Europe shipping routes.
The firm said it had concluded the London Gateway on the Thames estuary in Essex was “the most optimal port to serve our customers” in the UK.
It said it expected to share further details “over the next couple of weeks”.
In a statement on its website, Maersk said the changes were part of the Gemini Co-operation, which is a review of its network carried out with the Hapag-Lloyd shipping company.
“During this optimisation process… we have concluded that London Gateway is the most optimal port to serve our customers importing/exporting cargo to/from the UK,” it said.
“Due to this change, Felixstowe will not be a part of Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd’s shared Gemini network.
