Nearly two-thirds of Far East–Europe capacity back on Suez Canal route
About 63% of ocean capacity deployed between the Far East and Europe has returned to the Red Sea route after three years of detours, Alphaliner data shows, while some operators keep Cape of Good Hope services as a hedge.
Alphaliner surveyed the 10 largest carrier networks over the past month. According to the survey, some 63% of ocean capacity deployed between the Far East and Europe has returned to the Red Sea route after three years of detours.
Vessels on 24 of the 46 direct Far East–Europe services were transiting the Red Sea. Some operators are nonetheless maintaining several Cape of Good Hope routes to hedge against renewed disruption.
Carrier networks are therefore partly returning to the Suez route while retaining some diversion options.
