No momento, mais de 50% do comércio marítimo global está em ameaça de interrupção em quatro áreas -chave do mundo. Fatores. O canal de Suez e o Estreito de Bab El-Mandeb. O envio de navios ao redor do Cabo da Boa Esperança adiciona entre 9 e 17 dias de tempo de trânsito.

While the conflict in the Red Sea has been high in the news agenda, there are three other maritime passageways that risk becoming chokepoints due to either geopolitical or environmental factors.

1. The Suez Canal and Bab El-Mandeb Strait.

The Suez Canal, which connects the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, normally accounts for about 12% of global maritime trade.

2. O Estreito de Hormuz. de vasos através do estreito pode estar em risco.

This strait, between Iran to the north and UAE and Oman to the south, is significant for both energy and goods shipping.

If Iran were to be drawn more directly into the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the free passage of vessels through the strait could be at risk.

3. Os estreitos de Malaca e Taiwan. Importações. incerteza.

The Strait of Malaca, between Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, is the shortest shipping route between East Asia and the Middle East and Europe and accounts for 30% of global trade.

There is an ongoing dispute between China and several members of the ASEAN trade area over a large area in the South China sea.

Both trade routes are subject to heightened geopolitical uncertainty.

4. O Canal do Panamá. Níveis baixos de água, reduzindo temporariamente o número de transitos e garantindo que o peso da carga seja adequado. transporte ”, diz

The canal, which links the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, accounts for 5% of total global container trade, and some 46% of the trade from the US East Coast to East Asia.

It is facing a severe drought due to the El Niño weather phenomenon.

The authority that manages the canal has responded to low water levels by temporarily reducing both the number of transits and ensuring the weight of the cargo is suitable.

The So What

“These geopolitical risks could turn into a physical impossibility of moving goods to certain destinations. In the short term it will extend lead times on goods. In the longer term, it is likely to make firms seek shorter supply chains because of the risk and higher capital costs associated with maritime transport,” says Michael McAdoo , um parceiro e diretor da BCG e um dos autores do BCG's FUTURO DO COMÉRCIO Relatório.

“The financial impact is likely to impact producers most as they adapt their routes to market. But, as with almost any disruption, there are also opportunities, especially for freight companies to bring new solutions,” says Peter Jameson , um diretor e parceiro do BCG, especializado em remessa.
