Changes in the Maritime Landscape: What’s Happening?
We are currently facing a complex and constantly changing scenario. As a result of the tensions in the Red Sea, several shipping lines have decided to modify their routes. Most have chosen to avoid, for the time being, the Suez Canal as a route between Asia and Europe. However, some companies will continue to use this route on specific routes, with military escorts to ensure security.
What Does This Mean for Pricing?
In terms of rates, shipping lines have indicated the possibility of significant increases. Although there is no clear definition of the full impact on prices yet, we have already received announcements of increases from January 1 on imports from Far East Asia (FEA). In addition, we do not rule out possible increases in freight costs currently in transit on both imports and exports.
