By the week ending November 1, 53 container ships were transiting the Suez Canal, about 130% more than the same week in 2025, and roughly 60% of Asia–Europe capacity had returned to the route. The shorter Suez voyage saves about 27 days versus routing around the Cape, although freight rates have not adjusted as quickly as vessel routing.
More ships returning to the Suez route expand effective shipping capacity and shorten voyages, which could ease ocean freight costs over time; the rate effect has so far lagged the operational change.
