Dear Customer,
Due to elevated threat levels in the Red Sea, following a serious spate of Houthi attacks and upon advice from local security authorities and partners, we have taken the hard decision to re-route our ‘Europe – Middle East / India – Asia Liner Service’ (EUMEIA) sailings around the Cape of Good Hope, rather than transiting the Red Sea as originally planned.
Considering this routing change, and the significant increase in sailing costs that will be incurred as a result, we will be applying a ‘Cape of Good Hope Surcharge (COGHS)’ to affected voyages with immediate effect and in the sum of USD 25.00 per FRT.
The first of these voyages will be ‘AAL DALIAN v.24005’ and ‘AAL MELBOURNE v.24004’.
Whilst the situation in the Red Sea remains volatile and subject to change at any time, we will continue to monitor events daily and notify you immediately in the event of any change.
In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact your AAL representative for any further information or email us at [email protected]. We thank you for your continued support and understanding.
Regards,
AAL Management Team
