Maersk's Position on Suez Canal Sailings: Maersk has not confirmed a date for resuming sailings through the Suez Canal and Red Sea, contradicting the Suez Canal Authority's announcement of a return in early December.
Safety Concerns: The company emphasizes that the safety of crew, vessels, and cargo is its top priority, leading to the decision to delay changes to its east-west network.
Impact of Houthi Attacks: Major shipping carriers have been diverting routes away from the Red Sea since early 2024 due to attacks on shipping by Houthi militia in Yemen.
Other Carriers' Plans: French carrier CMA CGM is preparing to return to the Suez Canal next month, indicating a potential stabilization of the Red Sea corridor as traffic has increased in recent months.
