These developments are leading to an increased transit time of all services with the former Suez/Red Sea passage. Disruptions in capacity are anticipated in the coming weeks as shipping lines adjust their routes and schedules. We also expect potential application of new or increased surcharges, such as war risk or contingency adjustment surcharges by shipping lines, directly impacting existing costs. Our Hellmann Seafreight teams around the world are vigilantly monitoring the current situation and closely tracking the vessels impacted to provide our customers with timely updates.
