Recent developments in the Red Sea corridor mark a cautious step toward restoring East-West Suez transit routes. On December 18–19, a successful trial voyage through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait signals progress, but carriers remain vigilant about safety and security. Here’s what shippers need to know:
- Initial transit completed under strict safety protocols
- No full return to trans-Suez routes yet—stepwise approach planned
- Future sailings depend on meeting security thresholds

In a move that underscores its commitment to customers, Sallaum Lines has announced the indefinite pause of the previously scheduled $100 ocean freight rate increase, originally set for January 1, 2026. This decision comes at a time when the RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping sector faces mounting operational costs, including labor and port-related expenses.
The U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) recently highlighted the critical role of RoRo services in sustaining automotive and heavy equipment exports. With global demand for vehicle shipping rising and operational costs climbing, carriers have been under pressure to adjust pricing. Sallaum’s decision to hold rates steady contrasts with broader industry trends, providing relief for exporters and NVOCCs navigating tight margins.
For businesses shipping vehicles and high-and-heavy equipment, predictable pricing is essential. Sallaum’s move ensures continuity and reliability, reinforcing its position as a trusted RoRo carrier in the transatlantic and Middle East trade lanes.
