# The Week in Charts: Premier Alliance adds more Suez services as Red Sea return accelerates | Oil from ‘significant spill’ washes up on UAE beaches :: Lloyd's List

> Premier Alliance will route two more Asia-Mediterranean services through the Suez Canal from November, adding to a growing list of Suez-routed container loops. Lloyd's List data shows 21 megamax containerships of over 20,000 TEU had transited the canal by 28 October. Separately, oil from a spill tied to a drone-hit tanker has washed up on UAE beaches.

## Why it matters

A broader return to Suez routing adds effective container capacity and tends to push ocean freight rates lower, which eases shipping costs for grain and meal cargoes moving between Asia and Europe. The UAE oil spill is a localized environmental event with little direct effect on feed commodity prices.
