# Suez: record traffic in October

> Suez Canal traffic reached its highest level since the Red Sea crisis began, with 1,338 transits totaling 125.6 million deadweight tonnes in October. Traffic nevertheless remained about 33% below November 2023 levels, before large-scale vessel rerouting around the Cape of Good Hope.

## Why it matters

More Suez transits may gradually ease rerouting and capacity pressure on shipping, potentially reducing freight costs, though traffic remains substantially below pre-crisis levels.
