Maersk has resumed transit operations in the Red Sea with caution, stating that while the overall risk has not been eliminated, they will not hesitate to reassess the safety of their vessels and employees. Maersk is the only major carrier moving a significant number of large containerships greater than 8,000 TEU, with 3 in the Indian Ocean and 10 in the Mediterranean heading to the Suez. CMA CGM has also had two ships, the CMA CGM Congo and Theseus, transit under escort. Other shipping companies, including CMA CGM and COSCO, have partially resumed transiting through the Red Sea, both eastbound and westbound, following the launch of Operation Prosperity Guardian (OPG). Germany's Hapag-Lloyd is considering whether to resume journeys through the Red Sea. CMA CGM has announced plans for a gradual increase in the number of vessels passing through the Suez Canal, joining Maersk in returning to the area after US-led efforts to prevent attacks.
