Asian congestion pushes Maersk, CMA CGM back through Red Sea to free capacity

Summary

Linerlytica says 2.4m TEU of Asian capacity was delayed by typhoons, prompting Maersk and CMA CGM to reinstate three services via Bab el-Mandeb and Cosco to join, ignoring Houthi threats. The move aims to ease equipment shortages as European spot rates slip to $4,300-$4,900 per FEU.
