Maersk has followed up the late December 2025 Red Sea/Bab el-Mandab Strait transit of the Maersk Sebarok (6,500 TEU) with one now carried out by the similarly-sized Maersk Denver. Both ships are deployed to the carrier’s MECL service between India, Salalah and the United States East Coast.
Noteworthy is that the Maersk Denver is US-flagged. Much like other containerships returning to full Red Sea transits, its AIS was switched off for much of that segment. This second voyage ties in with Maersk’s intention to gradually return to the Suez/Red Sea should the security situation allow.
