Maersk and CMA CGM Resume Suez Canal Transits

The Suez Canal Authority (SCA) has announced two major developments that will reshape global shipping routes:

  • Maersk Group has signed a strategic partnership agreement to resume transits through the Suez Canal starting December 2025. Under this agreement, Maersk-affiliated vessels will return to the canal in December as a precursor to a full return in the near future.
  • CMA CGM will restore full-capacity operations via the canal from December 2025, following successful trial transits earlier this month-clear evidence of the company's confidence in the route.

These decisions mark a significant step toward restoring stability and efficiency in global trade flows. Inchcape Shipping Services remains committed to supporting our customers with real-time updates and operational excellence across all major maritime corridors.
