Japan’s container conglomerate Ocean Network Express has decided to suspend navigation away from the Suez Canal and the Red Sea in the wake of escalating security threats, rerouting its ships via the Cape of Good Hope instead or temporarily pausing voyages, the company said in late Dec. 19.
“Effective immediately, as a temporary safety measure, ONE will reroute our vessels away from the Suez Canal and the Red Sea,” ONE said in a statement.
“Instead, we will either navigate our vessels around the Cape of Good Hope or temporarily pause their journey and reposition them in a safe location.”
The Singapore-based container shipping arm of Japan’s NYK Line, Mitsui OSK Lines, and Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (K Line) said it will continue closely monitoring the situation and reinstate services through the Suez Canal when the situation normalizes.
ONE has a fleet of 205 ships, including 35 super-large ships like the world’s largest 20,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit container ships, in a service network covering over 120 countries.
