One of the world’s major shipping companies, Hapag-Lloyd, has decided not to resume using the Suez Canal despite international efforts to secure the region amid rising threats. The firm cites ongoing danger due to Houthi rebel attacks targeting vessels they believe are heading for Israel.
Security Concerns Persist
Hapag-Lloyd ranked as the world’s fifth-largest shipping firm, maintains its refusal to use the Suez Canal, deeming the route too dangerous. The decision comes amidst attacks by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea, prompting concerns about the safety of commercial shipping and leading to a significant rerouting of ships via the longer Cape of Good Hope route.
Industry-wide Impact and Supply Chain Disruptions:
Similar to Hapag-Lloyd, other firms too have faced opposition while using the Suez Canal leading to disruption in the Red Sea shipping operations. It seems the cost of shipping goods using the alternative route has increased significantly, and now there’s hope that there will be supply chain disruptions, delayed shipments, and potential price hikes.
