Why do Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd expect to implement the Cape of Good Hope instead of the Suez network?
The decision to implement the Cape of Good Hope network has been taken after thorough consideration and is driven by ongoing safety concerns in the Red Sea region. Given the current geopolitical situation and the need to ensure the safety of our people, we determined that this route is the only viable option at this stage. The Cape of Good Hope network will provide the same industry-leading schedule reliability we’ve committed to, while mitigating risks associated with the Red Sea region.
