Maersk suspends all shipments to Russia
In wake of the ongoing invasion, Danish shipping firm Maersk has announced it will temporarily suspend all shipments to and from Russia.
In a press release, Maersk stated it was deeply concerned about how the conflict in Ukraine continues to develop.
“As the stability and safety of our operations is already being directly and indirectly impacted by sanctions, new Maersk bookings within ocean and inland, to and from Russia, will be temporarily suspended,” wrote Maersk.
