For the 2012 we preview that the containerized traffics Asia-Europe will record a decrease of 3% and are assuming initiatives in order to adapt itself to this without to reorganize our position on the market. With the reductions of the ability to 9% realized in the past few months, this will carry in 2012 to a total decrease of the ability in the Network Asia-Europe di Maersk Line pairs to 21%".
