Carriers keep returning to Suez Canal routing despite Red Sea security risks
Asia–Europe container services are continuing to return to routing via the Red Sea and Suez Canal even as the security situation is described as deteriorating.
Asia–Europe container shipping services are continuing to return to the Red Sea and Suez Canal routing. The supplied report describes the security situation as deteriorating because of an escalating Houthi-Saudi conflict, noting that commercial shipping is operating close to an active war zone.
According to the report, most carriers appear ready to take the opportunity to transit Suez while it remains available. An attack on the 2,400 teu vessel CUL Klang, operated by CU Lines and reported shortly before publication, was not enough to reverse that trend.
The report presents the return of services as a source of concern for shippers over the risks attached to transits through the Red Sea and Suez Canal. No further operational details, schedules or cargo volumes are provided in the supplied text.
