Hapag-Lloyd Rules Out Near-Term Return
to Red Sea Shipping Routes
The company stated that the situation remains
volatile, with continued threats to commercial vessels, making a return to the
Red Sea and Suez Canal route unsafe for the time being. As a result,
Hapag-Lloyd will continue to divert its vessels around the Cape of Good Hope,
despite longer transit times and higher operational costs.
The Red Sea route is a critical artery for
global trade, particularly linking Asia with Europe. Prolonged diversions by
major shipping lines like Hapag-Lloyd are expected to keep freight rates
elevated and add pressure on global supply chains.
The company added that it is closely
monitoring developments and will reassess its decision as and when maritime
security conditions improve.
More on Hapag Lloyd :
Hapag-Lloyd and Ocean Network Express (ONE)
have announced an enhancement to their joint MIAX/AIM service, connecting the
Middle East and Indian Subcontinent with West Africa.
As part of the update, an eastbound call at
Cape Town has been added to the service rotation. The MIAX/AIM service is
operated by 11 ultra-large
Container vessels of approximately 24,300
TEU. The revised rotation will be as follows :
Jebel Ali – Mundra – Hazira – Nhava Sheva –
Colombo – Durban – Tema – Lagos (Tin Can & Apapa) – Cape Town – Durban –
Jebel Ali.
Emirates
Shipping to double frequency of Sun Chief Express service
Emirates Shipping has announced plans to
double the frequency of its Sun Chief Express (SCX) transpacific service,
strengthening connectivity between Vietnam, South China and the U.S. West
Coast.
From June 2026, the SCX service – operated in
cooperation with logistics services provider UWL-will move to a weekly
frequency. To support the upgrade, Emirates Shipping will deploy three
additional vessels on the route. The Service itinerary is expected to remain
unchanged, operating between :
Hai Phone – Ho Chi Minh – Shenzhen (Shekou) –
Seattle – Hai Phong.
The frequency increase was highlighted by
DynaLiners, reflecting growing demand on the transpacific corridor and Emirates
Shipping’s commitment to enhancing service reliability and capacity on the Asia
– U.S. West Coast trade lane.
