The recent disruptions in the Red Sea and Panama Canal Drought have sent ripples through the global shipping industry, causing significant impacts on established routes and compelling vessels to reroute. This has introduced a complex web of challenges for vessels transiting through these regions. In such turbulent times, monitoring vessels becomes critical for businesses involved in maritime trade.

‍

The situation is constantly evolving and remains highly volatile. Generally, 12% to 15% of global trade passes through the Red Sea, out of which 30 % is occupied by container traffic. The Suez Canal includes oil exports and for 30% of global container shipping volumes. The re-route of the vessels are resulting in an increased transit time, increased fuel consumption and congestion at ports causing a hard toll on shippers globally.

To assist and empower the businesses during these testing times, as being an ocean visibility platform SeaVantage presents a complimentary free trial to the SeaVantage Maritime platform known as “SVMP” with "Cargo Monitoring Dashboard (Red Sea / Panama)".

‍

The SVMP platform will offer complimentary Container tracking, Vessel tracking and Port congestion data with the real-time data insights and  live tracking of the shipment. Additionally, Cargo Monitoring Dashboard streamlines the tasks of shippers, providing them easy access to diverse shipment information within a single dashboard. This enhances operational efficiency and empowers shippers in making informed decisions.

As on 23rd January 2024, we've observed 535 vessels undergoing the re-routing, reflecting the dynamic nature of maritime activities. Notably, 34 vessels are navigating the Red Sea, with an additional 16 traversing the Panama Canal.

‍

It's important to recognize that vessel statuses change regularly, emphasizing the need for ongoing vigilance to ensure smooth operations. Our dashboard stands as a beacon of support, ensuring you stay informed, agile, and ahead of evolving circumstances.

Recently, on 28th February 2024, we've observed 639 vessels undergoing the re-routing. 34 vessels are presently navigating the Red Sea and 19 traversing the Panama Canal. There has been a notable rise of 104 instances of vessel re-routing observed over a month.

‍

Major companies like Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd AG,CMA CGM, EVERGREEN LINE and MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company continue to reroute their vessels to avoid the Red Sea. Panama Canal Drought is also resulting in re-route of the vessel. Maersk states Instead of going through the Panama Canal, the vessels would call the Ports of Balboa, Panama, on the Pacific side — dropping off cargo heading for Latin America and North America and picking up cargo heading for Australia and New Zealand. As on 23rd January 2024, Maersk contributed to the highest with a voyage rate of 188. However as of 28th February 2024, we notice that OOCL is leading, contributing with a voyage rate of 232. The data presented below provides valuable insights into the  status of container vessel voyage rates among leading carriers in the maritime industry.

Cargo Monitoring Dashboard provides detailed data insights regarding the current announcement from Carriers and route to be taken by the vessel with the departure and destination details such as updates on ATD,ETD and ETA. The enhanced search functionality and sorting capabilities makes this dashboard versatile and allows the user to get a wide range of data in a single dashboard.
