French Shipping Company: We Have Not Changed Our Plans to Gradually Increase Ships Passing Through the Suez Canal

The French shipping company "CMA CGM" stated today, Friday, that it "has not changed its previously announced plans to gradually increase the number of ships passing through the Suez Canal," unlike the Danish company Maersk, which said it will change the routes of all its ships from the Red Sea. Maersk indicated that it will redirect ships to go around Africa via the Cape of Good Hope in the near future, and issued a warning to customers to prepare for significant disruptions. CMA CGM replied via email: "No changes on our part."
