Second-largest drop in trade capacity


The now month-long Red Sea crisis has caused the second-largest drop in trade capacity in recent times and destabilised service networks, particularly affecting Asia-Europe routes.

 

The Sea-Intelligence Trade Capacity Outlook report compares this event with standard market fluctuations and recent disruptions.
