CMA CGM is taking concrete steps to restart container shipping through the Red Sea and Suez Canal after nearly two years of widespread avoidance, due to Houthi attacks and elevated concerns of war. The company plans to resume full east-west service loops via the Suez Canal, beginning with key strings such as its India–America Express, enabled by a Gaza ceasefire that has driven down war-risk insurance costs about 70%. While other carriers remain cautious, CMA CGM’s move, including recent ultra-large ship transits, signals a gradual revival of this critical maritime trade corridor.
