Maersk: Lay off 200 people! Close the Syrian business! 

According to foreign media, Maersk is currently in a new round of major layoffs, as part of cost-cutting measures, has begun to lay off employees at its headquarters. The group's Copenhagen headquarters will lay off about 200 people.

Due to the deteriorating prospects of the shipping market, Maersk will continue to implement these measures to reduce the number of employees from 110,000 at the beginning of 2023 to less than 100,000, so as to alleviate the impact of the market environment.

Recently, Maersk official website announced: After careful consideration and comprehensive evaluation of available options, it has decided to officially end its business in Syria from December 1,2023. This means that it will no longer provide cargo transportation to and from any destination in Syria.

Therefore, from December 1, booking to and from Syria will no longer be accepted, and Maersk ships will no longer call at Syrian ports. On November 28, the last Maersk ship to call at Syria will be the Maersk Narmada (346E/347W). 

马士基：裁员200人！关闭叙利亚业务！

       据外媒消息，马士基目前正处于新一轮重大裁员之中，作为削减成本措施的一部分，已开始在总部裁员。该集团哥本哈根总部将裁员约200人。

       鉴于海运市场前景不断恶化，马士基会继续实施这些举措，将员工人数从2023年初的110000人减少至10万人以下，以缓解市场环境带来的影响。

       近日，马士基官网发布公告称：经过慎重考虑和对可用方案的全面评估，决定自2023年12月1日起正式结束在叙利亚的业务。这意味着将不再提供往返叙利亚任何目的地的货物运输。

       因此，从12月1日起，将不再接受往返叙利亚的订舱，马士基船只将不再停靠叙利亚港口。11月28日，最后一船停靠叙利亚的马士基船只将是“Maersk Narmada”号(346E/347W)。

       马士基表示，由于叙利亚是一个受到高度制裁的国家，商业活动已经受到很大限制，因此马士基在叙利亚开展了有限的业务，完全遵守国际制裁。最近在物流方面，这变得更加具有挑战性，因此决定完全关闭业务。
