Hapag-Lloyd welcomes measures to secure safe Red Sea passage - media report

Hapag-Lloyd welcomes measures to secure safe Red Sea passage for cargo vessels as diversions from the region lead to monthly additional costs for the company in the high double-digit millions, the Funke Media Group reported on Friday, citing a spokesperson for the company.

The spokesperson declined to comment on strikes conducted by the United States and Britain in Yemen in response to militant attacks but said, "We welcome measures that make the passage through the Red Sea safe again," according to the report. (Writing by Rachel More Editing by Miranda Murray)
