2.3 Red Sea attacks disrupt global trade
2023 ended with new disruptions for trade and supply chains following the security crisis in the Red Sea and there’s no end in sight yet. To avoid Houthi militant attacks on their vessels in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, shipping companies and their clients continue to avoid the major Suez Canal route - handling some 12% of global trade - and are rerouting their vessels around the Cape of Good Hope.
Sailing around the Cape saves Suez Canal fees but adds some 3,000-3,500 nautical miles (around 6,000 km) to the journeys connecting Europe with Asia. At a speed of 14 knots, this means over 10 days is added to the length of the trip, potentially running up to two weeks.
