Freight Chaos
The Red Sea crisis persists in disrupting shipping schedules, with vessels missing berthing slots and reducing port calls. The extended Cape of Good Hope route between Asia and Europe is consuming capacity due to longer voyage distances and transit times. The current capacity is insufficient to compensate for these longer routes, as all vessels in the market are deployed. Congestion and equipment shortages are likely to persist in the near term and may take months to resolve fully. This challenging period is expected to bring prolonged transit times and continued delays. Despite these difficulties, we remain committed to minimising disruptions and will provide regular updates to keep you informed on your orders. We would recommend ordering as early as possible.
