by ProcurementSupply Chain

Executive Alert: 

The escalating situation in the Red Sea poses a serious threat to your supply chain and bottom line. 

Recent attacks have disrupted critical shipping lanes, leading to:

  • Soaring Costs: Container costs have already skyrocketed by 250% for some businesses, potentially translating into hundreds of thousands of pounds in losses.
  • Crippled Deliveries: Delays of 10-14 days due to the Cape of Good Hope detour jeopardise crucial sales seasons like Valentine’s and Mother’s Day, impacting revenue and customer satisfaction.
  • Unpredictable Future: The volatile situation casts a shadow over the future of this vital trade route, bringing uncertainty and potential cost fluctuations.
