Chairman of Suez Canal Authority (SCA), Lieutenant General Osama Rabie, announced the successful transit of the giant container ship CMA CGM SEINE, one of the world’s largest vessels, during its maiden voyage through the Suez Canal as part of the northbound convoy. The ship was en route to Malaysia from Morocco. Owned by the French shipping group CMA CGM, the vessel operates on the FAL3 service, which connects Europe and the Far East. Lt Gen Rabie emphasised that the transit of mega container ships underscores global confidence in the Suez Canal’s operational readiness and its role as the most efficient and sustainable route for international trade. He added that CMA CGM has recorded increased transits of large container ships, with 15 vessels exceeding 130,000 tons since last December, out of 38 vessels transiting since last May under the Authority’s flexible pricing policies.
