Dear Valued Clients and Business Partners,

EGL – Egyptian Global Logistics, a member of KADMAR Group, is pleased to report a significant and accelerating recovery in traffic through the Suez Canal, reflecting renewed confidence in the Canal as the shortest and most efficient maritime route between Asia, the Middle East, the Mediterranean and Northern Europe.

According to the latest statistics published by the Suez Canal Authority, October 2026 recorded the highest monthly traffic levels since the beginning of the Red Sea crisis:

– 1,490 vessels transited the Canal, compared with 1,128 vessels in October 2025 — an increase of 32%.
– Net tonnage reached 88 million tons, compared with 47 million tons — an increase of 86%.
– Canal revenues reached USD 724 million, compared with USD 373 million — an increase of 94%.
– Average traffic increased to approximately 48 vessels per day.

The recovery is being supported by the progressive return of major international shipping lines. CMA CGM, Maersk, MSC, Hapag-Lloyd and COSCO have restored selected services through the Canal, while Evergreen resumed transit on 8 November with the 16,556-TEU EVER EON. Additional services are expected to return during the coming months.

Although the return remains phased and subject to continuing security assessments, the present trend confirms the Canal’s major operational and commercial advantages:

– Shorter voyage distances and transit times compared with the Cape of Good Hope route.
– Lower fuel consumption and vessel deployment requirements.
– Improved schedule reliability and fleet utilisation.
– Faster cargo delivery between Asia, the Mediterranean and Europe.
