Shipping lines have been exploring a reopening of their container line services through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea.<\/p>\n

Although the\u00a0last incident\u00a0was on September 29, when the Dutch-flagged general cargo vessel MV\u00a0Minervagracht<\/em>\u00a0fell victim to a Houthi attack, traffic through the Suez Canal has not yet recovered. Suez Canal traffic transits in 4Q25 were 19 percent lower than in 2023 and 45 percent lower than in 2024, figures skewed by an increase in product tanker transits, while container traffic has still not recovered.<\/p>\n
