Hapag-Lloyd: SE3 service will sail via the Red Sea instead of the Cape of Good Hope

- German shipping company Hapag-Lloyd said on Monday that its SE3 service will sail via the Red Sea instead of rounding the Cape of Good Hope, effective immediately.

She explained, "The Red Sea route is the most efficient route for these flights and allows us to provide direct and faster access for our customers between Asia and Europe."

She added, "The safety of our crews, our ships, and our customers' cargo will remain our top priority," and confirmed that she will continue to monitor the situation.
