Maersk Redirects Sailings to Avoid Red Sea Once Again in International Shipping News 28/02/2026 We are currently experiencing unforeseen constraints arising from the wider operating environment in the Red Sea region. After conversations with our security partners, it is clear that these constraints are making it challenging to avoid delays in regard to passage through the area. Therefore, we have made the decision to reroute some of our upcoming sailings on the ME11 and MECL services from Trans Suez to Cape of Good Hope. Below we are sharing our vessels for the next three weeks so as to ensure that you can adjust your supply chain accordingly. You will receive an updated transport plan shortly.

On all additional MECL and ME11 sailings, we continue to prioritise the Trans-Suez route for these services as it is the fastest, most sustainable and most efficient way for us to serve our customers.
