CMA CGM update on the situation in Suez Canal

Mar 26, 2021

Following the on-going incident in the Suez Canal, CMA CGM Group is thoroughly monitoring the situation in close contact with its local teams and the Suez Canal’s authorities. Refloating attempts are being carried out by the owners of the vessel in coordination with Suez Canal Authorities. However, many vessels are currently waiting for passage through Suez Canal. 

Please see below the list of CMA CGM vessels currently impacted: 

For your cargo in transit, we are working on our schedule recovery plans after transit passage to limit delay at destination. 

For cargo yet to be loaded, we are considering alternative maritime routes, rail services or airfreight solutions with CMA CGM AIR CARGO. We’ll keep you updated as these options become available.
