Structural changes to WAF6

We are pleased to inform you of immediate structural changes to our WAF6 service. WAF6 is solely operated by Maersk and is a service that connects the Middle East, Mediterranean and West Africa. It will now transit via the Red Sea between Salalah and West Mediterranean.

This change marks another step towards a gradual return to the trans-Suez corridor.

Next Steps:

Maersk will continue to monitor the security situation in the Middle East region very closely. The safety of the crew, the vessels, and customers’ cargo remains the highest priority. Should the security situation change in the Red Sea, which may necessitate reverting individual sailings or the wider structural change of the service back to the Cape of Good Hope route, we have contingency plans in place.
