Shipping lines to resume the Red Sea route

A.P. Moller-Maersk and CMA CGM plan to resume transits through the Red Sea. This decision could be influenced by various factors such as improved security measures (Operation Prosperity Guardian), diplomatic efforts, or a reassessment of the risk landscape in the region.


Other Carrier Actions

Despite A.P. Moller-Maersk and CMA CGM's decision, some major players in the shipping industry, including Hapag-Lloyd AG, EVERGREEN LINE, and MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, continue to reroute their vessels to avoid the Red Sea. This divergence in strategies among key carriers reflects the complexities and uncertainties associated with the security situation in the region.

Transit Time Impact

Transit times are anticipated to extend by a minimum of 7-20 days on routes that typically utilize the Red Sea. Longer transit times not only affect delivery schedules but also contribute to increased operational costs for both carriers and shippers.


Surcharges Imposed

To offset the costs incurred by rerouting vessels around the southern tip of Africa and avoiding potential security risks in the Red Sea, carriers are imposing Red Sea surcharges. These additional fees are likely to impact shipping costs and may prompt a reassessment of the economic viability of certain routes. It introduces a new layer of complexity for businesses involved in international trade, necessitating a proactive approach to managing costs and logistics strategies.

DANA(Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos, 고도에서 발생하는 단독 저기압)는 지중해의 습기와 결합하여 국지적으로 강력한 폭풍을 일으키는 현상을 가리킵니다. 이번 DANA 폭풍은 집중호우를 쏟아부었으며, 일부 지역에서는 몇 시간 만에 1년 치 강수량에 달하는 비가 내렸습니다. (참고: NOAA 위성 서비스).
