Significant events
- “The impact of the Red Sea situation continued to be felt throughout 2024 as diversions around the Cape of Good Hope absorbed some level of capacity which maintained freight rates at profitable levels.”
- “Looking forward to 2025, the outlook continues to be uncertain. The ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East continue to impact the supply chain. The new U.S. administration also continues to unravel their new policies on trade which will potentially impact the global economy and supply chain in the short and long term.”
- “Business to Russia was suspended in March 2022 following international sanctions against the Russian Federation.”
