We would like to take this opportunity to remind you of the upcoming Chinese New Year. In 2026, the main holiday period will take place between 17 February and 3 March, which means that China, as usual, will shut down almost all business activities during most of weeks 8 and 9.

The New Year is also celebrated in other parts of Asia, such as Hong Kong and Taiwan, although on slightly different dates. Many companies remain closed for more than one week, and as is customary, Chinese production is slow to restart after the holidays.

We continuously work to find the best solutions for you as a customer when it is time to book your transport. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

This year, we celebrate the Year of the Horse!

We are pleased to inform you that Maersk has initiated a return to the route via the Suez Canal.

This decision is based on the stabilisation of conditions in and around the Red Sea and the Suez corridor. Following test sailings carried out in December and January, Maersk is now gradually reverting to its original service pattern. This will result in more efficient transport solutions and an expected reduction in transit times of approximately one week.

Maersk will continue to closely monitor the security situation in the region. The service remains dependent on the absence of any escalation in regional conflicts. The safety of crew, assets, and customers’ cargo remains the highest priority. Should the security situation deteriorate, contingency plans are in place, which may result in services once again being routed around the Cape of Good Hope.

At present, no other carriers are operating via the Suez Canal.

We are proud to share that Scanlink has been awarded the title of Nordic Growth Company 2025 by UC.

This places us among an exclusive group of only approximately 5% of all Swedish companies that meet all criteria — regardless of size or industry. The certification is based on an in-depth analysis of the latest annual financial statements, taking into account factors such as growth, profitability, financial stability and development in number of employees.

This achievement is an important recognition of our long-term commitment, solid development and strong dedication to quality, customer service and sustainable growth.

A heartfelt thank you to our fantastic customers, partners and employees who made this possible.

Together, we continue moving forward!
