Maersk's core Europe-Asia route adds this Middle Eastern port
2026-09-15

The updated port rotation is as follows:  

Qingdao → Kwangyang → Ningbo → Tanjung Pelepas → Jeddah → Suez Canal → Port Said → Damietta → Suez Canal → Salalah → Colombo → Singapore → Qingdao

The first eastbound voyage featuring Salalah as a scheduled call will be operated by the vessel *Morten Maersk* on Voyage 638E. Departing Damietta, Egypt, on 18 September 2026, the vessel is scheduled to arrive in Salalah on 24 September 2026.

This enhancement strengthens connectivity across three major trade corridors—Mediterranean, Middle East, and Asia-Pacific—offering customers greater schedule reliability, capacity flexibility, and end-to-end supply chain resilience.
