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.
