In continued efforts to ensure the safety of crew, vessels, and cargo amid the ongoing developments in the Red Sea region, CMA CGM would like to provide you with the necessary information regarding the re-routing of several vessels from their intended route through the Cape of Good Hope.
As highlighted in the previous Customer Advisory, re-routing 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 CMA CGM understands it may impact your logistics and supply chain operations, it is a necessary step which comes with a cost.
