Following attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on ships in the Red Sea, Geneva-based container shipping company MSC has temporarily halted its voyages through the Suez Canal. The world’s largest container shipping company wants to protect the lives of its seafarers.
A company-owned cargo ship was attacked by a drone on Friday while sailing through the Red Sea, MSC announced on Saturday. All crew members of the “MSC Palatium III” are doing well. Fire damage occurred to the ship. It was withdrawn from circulation.
As a result of the incident, MSC ships will no longer transit the Suez Canal to the east and west until passage through the Red Sea is safe, MSC said. Instead, the ships sail around the Cape of Good Hope, at the southernmost tip of Africa. The journeys take a few days longer.
The shipping companies Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd will also no longer sail via the Suez Canal for the time being. This connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea and is the shortest sea route from Asia to Europe. (SDA)
