According to industry news, this revision expands the service’s coverage to include key Red Sea and Egyptian gateway ports, while concurrently adjusting its existing port rotation in Türkiye.  

Notably, despite the inclusion of Red Sea ports, the Himalaya Express will maintain its current transoceanic routing and continue to bypass the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Vessels will instead traverse the Cape of Good Hope in both eastbound and westbound directions, ensuring operational continuity and navigational safety. 

Revised Himalaya Express Rotation:  

Valencia → Barcelona → Gioia Tauro → Abu Qir → King Abdullah Port → Jeddah → Aliaga → Valencia → Sines → Las Palmas → Colombo → Nhava Sheva → Mundra → Vizhinjam → Las Palmas → Sines → Valencia
