🔥 Greetings, Maritime Mavericks!

For the first time since the Red Sea crisis began, two container ships from CMA CGM quietly transited the Suez Canal.

No big announcement.

No “route fully reopened” statement.

Just two vessels — and a powerful signal.

So, what does this really mean?

Is Suez reopening… or is this just a cautious test?

Let’s break it down — clearly, calmly, and without hype.

⚓ What Actually Happened?

  • CMA CGM Jacques Saade transited northbound (Morocco → Malaysia)

  • CMA CGM Adonis transited southbound (Asia → Med)

  • Both passages were completed without incident

  • No reported Houthi attacks since the October 10 ceasefire

  • CMA CGM confirmed routing is case by case, not a full return

  • Company schedules show INDAMEX (India–US) using Suez from January

💡Days earlier, Maersk also sent one vessel through the Red Sea — clearly stating this was a test, not a network restart.
