Customer Advisory - Preventive measures in response to the risk in the Red Sea

18 December 2023

Dear Valued Customers:

Given the recent ongoing risks of attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, and to ensure the safety of crews, vessels and cargo of Yang Ming's global network, we (Yang Ming) will implement the following response measures effective immediately.

For our vessels currently or potentially sailing through high-risk maritime area in the next two weeks, there will be an immediate diversion around the Cape of Good Hope, or waiting in a safe location.

We will continue to closely monitor the situation in the high-risk region and will make real-time, adaptive adjustments to our vessels and routes in response to changes in the situation, ensuring the safety of the transportation.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the above security measures. For any further inquiries, please contact your local business representative directly.

Sincerely,
Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp.
