The updated rotation will be as follows.

Port Elizabeth - Durban - Cape Town - Rotterdam - London Gateway - Bremerhaven - Algeciras - Port Elizabeth

For South Africa to Europe, the first vessel on the rotation will be the Santa Isabel 224N, which is scheduled to arrive in Port Elizabeth on 25 October 2022.
