Dear Customers / Partners,

In view of the evolving security situation in the Middle East / Persian Gulf region, Regional Container Lines (RCL) considers that the safety of our crew and vessels remains our highest priority.

As one of the precautionary measures, RCL has temporarily suspended acceptance of new bookings for cargo to Middle East / Persian Gulf destinations with immediate effect and until further notice.

For cargo already booked and/or in transit, shipments may be subject to delays, schedule adjustments and/or operational changes.

RCL continues to closely monitor developments and is working with relevant authorities, security partners, and insurers to safeguard our operations.

We appreciate your understanding. Should you have any questions or require support on existing shipments, please contact your local RCL office or customer service representative.

Sincerely,
