Evergreen’s Suez return leaves Zim increasingly isolated

The container shipping industry's long detour around southern Africa is coming to an end as Taiwan's Evergreen prepares to send its first ships through the Suez Canal after almost three years of avoiding the Red Sea.

According to liner consultancy Linerlytica, Evergreen will deploy the 16,556 teu Ever Eon and Ever Edit through Suez, signaling a significant shift in the industry's routing strategies.
