Maersk Picking up 50,000 Stranded Containers at Russian Ports
Shipping group Maersk still has vessels calling at Russian ports to deliver containers booked before the invasion of Ukraine began and to pick up around 50,000 containers stranded in Russia, Chief Executive Soren Skou said on Tuesday.
The company has temporarily halted new container bookings to and from Russia, as a consequence of what the Kremlin calls a “special military operation” in Ukraine.
“We have about 50,000 of our containers in Russia today. Most of them are empty, they are our property,” Skou said.
“We need them, and we are very reluctant to leave them in Russia. For this reason, we still have some port calls in Russia,” he said.
