The following release was published by MSC:
Given the security situation in the Red Sea and to ensure the safety of our crew, MSC ships are not transiting the Suez Canal Eastbound and Westbound until Red Sea passage is safe again.
Redirecting all vessels via the Cape has impacted global shipping networks. Therefore, MSC is adapting its East-West routes to manage this disruption.
