Recalling that the situation in the Red Sea has caused disruptions in the industry since December 2023, it was noted that ships temporarily changed direction and followed longer routes around the Cape of Good Hope, causing unprecedented challenges for global supply chains.

The statement pointed out that the ongoing attacks on ships in the Red Sea pose problems in terms of logistics and supply chains, and warned that the coming months will be difficult for both carriers and businesses.
