Effective in early February! In response to the Red Sea situation, MSC route adjustment! 

On January 26th, a finished oil tanker operated by Trafigura, a commodity trader, was attacked by Houthi armed forces, and the cargo hold caught fire.

Yahya Sariah, military spokesman of Houthi armed forces in Yemen, confirmed that its maritime forces fired missiles at a British oil tanker "Marlin Luanda" in the Gulf of Aden and hit the target, causing the ship to catch fire.

The Marshall Islands-flagged tanker was reportedly hit in the attack. The Marlin Luanda sailed from Morocco and passed through the Suez Canal last weekend. It is now heading for Singapore. The incident occurred 60 nautical miles southeast of Aden, Yemen, and all crew members are safe.

MSC has temporarily halted eastbound and westbound crossings of the Suez Canal due to current conditions in the Red Sea. To mitigate the impact of the diversion on its sailing schedule, the company is adjusting its east-west routes.

The changes include changing the rotation and adding ships to minimize disruption and ensure a more efficient sailing schedule through the Cape of Good Hope. The updated rotation will take effect in early February.

2月初生效！应对红海局势，MSC航线调整！

       1月26日，大宗商品贸易商托克(Trafigura)旗下运营的一船成品油轮遭到胡塞武装袭击，货舱起火。

       也门胡塞武装军事发言人叶海亚·萨里阿证实，其海上力量在亚丁湾对一船英国油轮“Marlin Luanda”轮发射导弹，并击中目标，导致船上着火。

       据悉，这舰悬挂马绍尔群岛旗的油轮在袭击中被击中。“Marlin Luanda”轮船从摩洛哥出发，并于上周末通过苏伊士运河。目前正驶往新加坡。事发地点位于也门亚丁东南60海里处，所有船员均安全。

       由于红海目前的情况，MSC暂时停止了苏伊士运河东行和西行的过境。为了减轻这次改道对其航行时间表的影响，该公司正在调整其东西航线。

       这些变化包括改变轮换和增加船只，以尽量减少干扰，并确保通过好望角的更有效的航行时间表。更新后的轮换将于2月初生效。
