Maersk Operations through Red Sea/ Gulf of Aden
Following the successful transit with Maersk Sebarok in December 2025, on 11-12 January 2026, the US-flagged the U.S.-flagged Maersk vessel Maersk Denver, currently operating on the MECL service, successfully transited the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and into the Red Sea. The safety of our crew, vessels and cargo remains of utmost importance to us, and the necessary safety measures were applied during transit.
While there are no additional sailings to announce at this time, assuming that security thresholds continue to be met, we will continue our stepwise approach towards gradually resuming navigation along the East-West corridor via the Suez Canal and the Red Sea.
