The world's largest container shipping company, AP Moller-Maersk, has decided to cancel all crew changes until 14 April.
The shipping giant wants to protect the welfare of thousands of seafarers working on its 749-ship fleet, according to Danish union Metal Maritime.
The union is supporting the decision and will meet management later this week to clarify the consequences and agree details on how to resolve the crisis situation caused by the global coronavirus pandemic.
