(Jan 15): AP Moller-Maersk A/S will return to sailing regularly through the Suez canal this month as the security situation improves in the Middle East. The voyage marks another step toward normalisation of global supply lines, after Yemen-based Houthis in 2023 began attacking vessels, forcing shipowners to sail south of Africa. Maersk made the first safe transit in December, followed by another sailing earlier this month. The change comes into effect with Cornelia Maersk departing Salalah on Jan 26, the company said in a statement on Thursday. Maersk shares fell as much as 7.3%, the most in two months, and were down 6.5% as of 11.43am in Copenhagen.
