Hapag-Lloyd announces changes on Europe - Asia Service services
In connection with the MOL Comfort incident, the ship operator decided to send all vessels of the same for inspection. This will lead to some inevitable contingency plans for the affected voyages, said in the Hapag-Lloyd's press release.
