Maersk Line would like to announce rate increases on services to West Africa. The trading conditions for the carriers operating in these markets are still subject to unacceptable rate levels and the situation is unsustainable in the longer term. The rate increases are necessary to continue to operate our services with the high level of reliability our customers have come to expect from Maersk Line.
