Crisis in Red Sea Transforming Logistics Operations

More than 90 percent of consumer goods are transported by ocean, making maritime routes critical to global trade. The Suez Canal, the largest manmade canal, serves as a vital link between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean via the Red Sea. It enhances the efficiency and responsiveness of supply chains by offering a direct route for shipping freight between Asia and Europe.

However, the crisis in the Red Sea region has posed significant challenges for logistics companies. The disruption has led to a surge in freight costs, with rates increasing two to three times their usual levels. This escalation has put considerable strain on companies' budgets and planning. Alternatives to vessel routing is adding an extra 10-15 days of transit time for shipments to ports.

In this article, logistic companies share the challenges and solutions to help them deal with the ongoing crisis.
