Maersk Ships Pass Through Suez Canal
The Suez Canal saw the passage of 276 ships belonging to the Maersk Group during the first nine months of 2026, with a total net cargo of 23.3 million tons, compared to 146 voyages and 7 million tons in the same period last year. The Chairman of the Suez Canal Authority, Lieutenant General Osama Rabei, emphasized that geopolitical changes and rising fuel prices have reinforced the strategic importance of the canal, as it offers economic savings and greater maritime safety compared to a voyage around the Cape of Good Hope. On behalf of Maersk Group, Rabab Boulos expressed her hope for all the Group’s services to resume passing through the canal by March 2027, reaffirming their commitment to continue updating sailing schedules and accelerating the return of services, with plans to hold bilateral meetings to strengthen future cooperation.
