Trade disruptions due to the situation in the Red Sea will persist until the end of 2024 — Maersk forecast
The world’s second-largest shipping company looks pessimistically at the situation with freight transport in the region, where Houthi attacks continue. Maersk stated that, in their opinion, the difficulties with trade through the Red Sea “will not be short-term and will continue at least in the second half of the year.” In March, the cost of transporting a container reached $6800, whereas before the crisis it was $750.
