Due to vessels detouring around the Cape of Good Hope and a reduction in capacity by shipowners, extensive rerouting in the Red Sea and Mediterranean region has resulted in a Far-East to North-West Europe capacity loss of around 20%, and the situation is worsening.
Shipping costs are rising, and it is estimated that the situation will not ease in the short term. Unfortunately, June, July, and August are not expected to see any improvement.
As your reliable solutions partner, Seaspace International are working closely with shipping lines and our agents to proactively address these challenges.
Bookings for the first week of June are limited, and we anticipate a sharp increase in ocean freight rates so we recommend that you provide us with forecasts so we can best support you by securing bookings and spaces and reducing the risk of delays for your cargo.
We are confident that by working closely together and maintaining open communication, we can minimise the disruption.
