The 2M Alliance, including Maersk and MSC, has announced the rescheduling of its two services connecting the Far East and 
Northern Europe.
The alliance will restart AE1/Shogun Ningbo and AE6/Lion Shanghai westbound calls on August 15 and 23 respectively. The 
service rotation is as follows:
AE1/Shogun Rotation Westbound
Ningbo-Shanghai-Xiamen-Tanjong-Pelepas-Felixsto-Rotterdam-Bremerhaven
AE6/Lion Rotation Westbound
Ningbo-Shanghai-Yantian-Danzhong-Pelepas-Sien-Antwerp-Le Havre-Felixsto-Archilas
The measures to restore the port of call will be effective by the following ships: AE1 AE6
Maersk and the MSC alliance will also change their AE6/Lion service coverage, structurally canceling the Yantian eastbound stop
on September 16.
Maersk stated that this is the result of the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, such as port congestion and delays in the global
supply chain.
The 2M Alliance will implement alternative routes to reduce the impact on customers.
In the context of continued tension in the global supply chain, many shippers, in order to ensure the stability of their own cargo
transportation, do not hesitate to spend a lot of money on renting boxes and ships to carry out their own transportation.
Now, the US Congress has proposed the "Maritime Transport Reform Act" mainly to reconcile the conflicts between carriers and 
shippers, and to give the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) greater powers.
1. The burden of proof in the supervisory procedure is transferred from the shipper to the carrier
2. It is stipulated that the carrier shall not refuse to deliver American goods. 3. The Federal Maritime Commission shall be 
empowered to renew the minimum requirements of the service contract: no unreasonable refusal to deliver the goods;
The shipowner or terminal is required to prove that the demurrage and detention fees collected comply with the
regulations, otherwise a fine will be imposed
Shipowners or terminals are required to keep all records of demurrage and detention fees for at least 5 years, 
and provide these records to FMC or the invoicer.
However, the World Shipping Council (WSC), which accounts for 90% of the global capacity, said that this bill is unfair. Do you
 know that? I don’t eat this set, do you know how to cut? ? ?
WSC said in a statement: "If the government wants to intervene, it must ensure that all parties are fair, and
the law must specify the responsibilities and consequences of each party's failure to perform its obligations.
However, this legislation does not adopt such a fair approach."
"Government reforms have not created a level playing field. Instead, they will tilt the market in favor of shippers in commercial 
disputes."
Therefore, it is estimated that this bill will be suspended.
