Evergreen’s EVER EON completes first Suez Canal transit

Evergreen’s 16,556-TEU containership EVER EON transited the Suez Canal on 8 November, marking a significant step in the carrier’s gradual return to the waterway after nearly three years of disruption linked to the Red Sea crisis.

According to the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), the 369-metre-long vessel passed through the canal while travelling from the Netherlands to Singapore. EVER EON operates on the Ocean Alliance’s NEU7 service, connecting the Far East with Northwest Europe.

The transit follows Evergreen’s recently announced plans to resume Suez Canal sailings, which Container News reported on 6 November.

Admiral Ossama Rabiee, Chairman and Managing Director of the SCA, described the transit as a positive development for shipping between Asia and Europe. He also indicated that Evergreen intends to route additional voyages through the canal in the coming period.
