Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd are routing their India-Europe ME1 service through the Suez Canal again instead of around the Cape of Good Hope. The change began with westbound and eastbound sailings in early November, as the carriers cited improved conditions but said future routing would depend on Red Sea security.
The Suez route shortens transit times compared with the Cape route and may reduce shipping costs and delays on India-Europe trade lanes. A sustained return to the corridor would ease pressure on ocean freight capacity and costs.
