Since the diversion of the first sailing from the Red Sea route to the Cape of Good Hope route, Maersk has maintained the intent to resume trans-Suez routing when conditions allowed, as the safety of the crew, the vessels, and our customers’ cargo remains the highest priority of both carriers. The Suez Canal is a vital maritime corridor between East and West and a key driver of efficient global supply chains. The route through the Suez, the Red Sea, and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is the fastest, most sustainable and most efficient way to serve customers with transport between Asia and Europe.

Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd have decided to change the routing of one of our shared services under the Gemini Cooperation, the ME11 service, transitioning it through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.
