A surge of attacks on ships traveling the waters of the Red Sea is forcing shippers to reroute their vessels, leading to longer journeys and increased carbon dioxide emissions. This disruption, compounded by tariff risks, has sent ripple effects across the globe, significantly impacting the ocean freight container shipping market. Maersk, a bellwether for global trade, reports that the congestion in the Red Sea is having a larger than expected impact on the world's supply lines, boosting freight rates. The market is set to surpass the peak levels seen during the Red Sea crisis and hit levels not seen since the Covid-19 pandemic. The increased fuel consumption due to longer maritime routes is also contributing to the rising freight rates. Shipping stocks have surged above 2022 levels, indicating that inflation and economic activity remain high. Maersk has raised its profit forecast in light of these disruptions.
