CMA CGM Revises Plan to Reroute Service Through the Red Sea
Following customer pressure, French shipping giant CMA CGM has reversed its decision to reroute its INDAMEX (Indian Subcontinent-US East Coast) service through the Suez Canal, just weeks after announcing the change.
The company had initially planned to avoid the Suez Canal and take a longer detour around the Cape of Good Hope, opting instead to transit the Red Sea. However, the reversal is likely driven by concerns from cargo insurers, who have declined to provide coverage due to the ongoing threat of Houthi attacks in the region.
The move underscores CMA CGM's responsiveness to customer concerns and the need for secure, reliable shipping routes.
