RCL cancels China–Red Sea sailing over security risks

Regional Container Lines (RCL) has cancelled a scheduled China–Red Sea sailing, citing the continued escalation of security threats in the Red Sea region.

The carrier said it has declared Force Majeure and withdrawn the planned voyage of MV TS Chennai 2604E.

RCL added that all additional costs arising from the disruption—including handling, storage, re-routing, transshipment, inland transportation, demurrage, detention, port charges and other related expenses—will be borne by cargo owners in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable bill of lading.

The company said the decision was made due to exceptional circumstances beyond its reasonable control and that it will continue to monitor the security situation before resuming normal operations when conditions are safe and operationally feasible.
