Maersk confirms no change to Red Sea diversionsMaersk confirms no change to Red Sea diversions
The Danish shipping line says its decision offers stability and certainty with safety of crew and vessels a priority.

Danish carrier Maersk has confirmed its stance that the line will continue with Cape of Good Hope diversions until tensions in the region are lowered.
The company posted a statement today welcoming the ceasefire and the humanitarian aid to those suffering in Gaza, but added that its priority must be the safety of its crew, vessels and, by extension, the cargo it carries.
“We have taken this decision to optimise stability and certainty across your supply chain. Returning to the area without fully ensuring safe passage could result in our networks needing to be adjusted again, which would prove complicated both operationally and indeed for supply chain management,” said Maersk.
Maersk also conformed that its collaboration with Hapag-Lloyd, the Gemini Cooperation, would continue as planned from the 1 February and that vessels operating in this alliance will also divert around the African Cape until further notice.
