Market Prediction: Red Sea bypass to continue at least through August

2025 01/07

The resumption of services through the Suez Canal will involve further changes to the route network, the professional said, but was skeptical that shipping lines would be willing to make these changes before August. He speculated that the diversion of ships rerouting to the Cape of Good Hope could continue for another six months, even if the Red Sea crisis is resolved. For shipping lines, there is no incentive for them to choose to go through the Suez Canal yet. In addition, shippers are equally hesitant to “move too soon”, preferring the stability of a longer voyage in the face of possible disruptions.
