We recognise that the evolving situation in the Middle East has raised concerns about potential supply chain disruptions. To keep you informed about how ocean freight operations in the region may be affected, particularly given the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, we are collaborating closely with our trusted carrier partners.
While carriers remain committed to delivering the highest level of service, their primary focus is on ensuring the safety of crews, vessels, and cargo. Operations are being carefully monitored, and should adjustments become necessary due to unfolding events, timely and transparent updates will be provided.
The conflict between Israel and Iran could lead to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route in the Middle East Gulf. Such disruptions may result in port congestion and rising oil prices, driving up container shipping rates. Carriers might introduce additional 'security surcharges' in response to these challenges. Also, this escalation reduces the likelihood of container ships returning to the Red Sea on a large scale, which would continue to impact Asia-North Europe routes
