This follows the full return of ships from the French CMA CGM group.
Rabie emphasized the strategic nature of the visit, highlighting that disruptions in the Red Sea have reaffirmed the canal's role in safeguarding global supply chain continuity.
Osama Rabie, Chairman of the Suez Canal Authority, explained that joint consultations with shipping lines and positive feedback from many clients, indicating a return to stability in the Red Sea region, have led some shipping lines to change their routes to use the Suez Canal rather than the Cape of Good Hope.
“Red Sea disruptions from attacks did not create sustainable alternative route to replace the canal,” said Osama Rabie, chairman of the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), on Wednesday.
Rabie highlighted the SCA’s recent efforts to enhance its service offerings, including ship maintenance and repairs, pollution control, waste removal, and crew changes.
