France-based container shipping major CMA CGM said on Saturday that “considering the evolving security situation in the Middle East and the restrictions on maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, CMA CGM reiterates that the safety and security of its crew remain its foremost priority”.
As a result the shipping line has decided that:
- All vessels inside Gulf, and bound to Gulf, have been instructed with immediate effect to proceed to shelter.
- Passage through the Suez Canal has been suspended until further notice, and vessels will be rerouted via the Cape of Good Hope.
Customers will be contacted as soon as we have more details of the possible alternative ports where their cargo could be discharged.
“This decision is dictated by safety considerations and is made in compliance with our Bill of Lading Terms and Conditions”, the French carrier said.
