Hapag-Lloyd and Maersk Resume Red Sea Transits Under Naval Escort, Signaling Cautious Return to Key Trade Artery
German shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd, in partnership with Maersk, is set to resume select services through the Red Sea and Suez Canal from mid-February, marking a tentative return to the vital shipping lane after a prolonged diversion due to Houthi attacks. The move, part of their new 'Gemini Cooperation,' will see vessels sail under naval protection.
