Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) announced that, after reviewing security and operational conditions in the Red Sea region, it has decided to proceed with the partial re-establishment of transits through the Suez Canal and will add another route through the maritime passage.
In this context, MSC detailed that this decision applies to the Indusa service, which operates between Ipak - the Indian Subcontinent and Pakistan region - the United States, and Mexico. Navigation through the waterway will resume - for now - only for westbound voyages.
The first Indusa departure via the Suez Canal is scheduled with the container ship MSC Domna X, whose sailing from the Port of Colombo will be on September 23, 2026. Meanwhile, the shipping company stated that for eastbound cargo transport, operations will continue via the Cape of Good Hope.
"Individual booking confirmations and online itineraries will be progressively updated to reflect the new travel plans. The transition will be implemented on a case-by-case basis," the company explained.
"MSC will continue to closely monitor the situation across the region, in coordination with relevant authorities and security partners. The protection of our seafarers, vessels, and our customers' cargo remains our highest priority. Contingency plans remain in place, allowing for individual voyages to be adjusted if circumstances require," the shipping company indicated.
Mediterranean Shipping Company's decision to resume transit of its Indusa service in the Suez Canal joins the announcement by Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd, companies offering joint services through the Gemini network, regarding the resumption of four voyages through the same maritime passage.
