The schedule for the 8,100 TEU One Continuity, published by Japanese carrier ONE, shows the vessel departing from Laem Chabang on October 19 after it was reassigned to the FE1 Asia-North Europe service of Premier Alliance.
According to the Xeneta eeSea liner database, it was deployed on the SX1 service on the East Coast of Asia and South America of ONE, operated jointly with Premier Alliance partners HMM and Yang Ming.
According to the new FE1 pro forma, One Continuity will arrive at the Suez Canal on November 9, and then at its first European port of call, Rotterdam, on November 19.
Other vessels in the FE1 service — the 9,000 TEU NYK Venus, the 8,200 TEU ONE Hamburg, and the 9,000 TEU NYK Orion — are also scheduled for Suez transit after departing Asia in November and December.
Meanwhile, Cosco vessels are reportedly also set to transit the Suez Canal in a westbound direction for the first time since the start of the Red Sea crisis in early 2025.
«After nine eastbound voyages scheduled through the canal since mid-September, Cosco will make its first westbound journey through Suez in more than two years with the 24,200 TEU OOCL Spain on the AEU1/LL1 service on October 4,» Linerlytica wrote this week.
The service, part of the Ocean Alliance Asia-North Europe network, is known as NEU1 and FAL5 for CMA CGM customers.
Linerlytica also noted that last week «marked the busiest week for container transits through the Suez Canal since 2024, with 30 vessels of over 4,000 TEU passing through.»
The analyst calculated that since May, a total of 140 boxships have made a «structural shift» from Cape of Good Hope routes to Suez, equivalent to just over 2 million TEU of capacity.
Part of the renewed confidence in returning to Suez routes may be linked to a letter that Houthi rebels reportedly sent to the EU, in which they promised not to attack European cargo vessels.
