In continued efforts to ensure the safety of our crew, vessels, and your cargo amid the ongoing developments in the Red Sea region, we would like to provide you with important information regarding the re-routing of several vessels from their intended route through the Cape of Good Hope.

As highlighted in our previous Customer Advisory, the re-routing of these vessels is a precautionary measure taken to navigate away from potentially unsafe areas. This decision is in line with Clause 10 of our Bill of Lading, and while we understand it may impact your logistics and supply chain operations, it is a necessary step which comes with a cost.

Accordingly, we hereby inform you that, effective immediately and until further notice, a RED SEA Charge will apply to all cargo to and from Red Sea ports unless you decide to accomplish the Bill of Lading at the designated hub ports.
