We are currently experiencing unforeseen constraints arising from the wider operating environment in the Red Sea region. After conversations with our security partners, it is clear that these constraints are making it challenging to avoid delays in regard to passage through the area. Therefore, we have made the decision to reroute some of our upcoming sailings on the ME11 and MECL services from Trans Suez to Cape of Good Hope.
Below we are sharing our vessels for the next three weeks so as to ensure that you can adjust your supply chain accordingly. You will receive an updated transport plan shortly.
