Maersk said the risk zone in the Red Sea is expanding
The consequences of the situation in the Red Sea continue to cause disruptions in the maritime transportation industry. The risk zone has expanded, Danish logistics company Maersk writes on its website.
“The consequences of the situation in the Red Sea are expanding and continue to cause disruptions in the industry,” the report notes. - The situation in the Red Sea has escalated over the past few months. To keep our crew, vessels and your cargo safe, we are modifying the route around the Cape of Good Hope for the foreseeable future. However, the risk zone has expanded and the attacks are spreading further out to sea.”
The escalating situation has led to longer routes, resulting in additional time and cost to get cargo to its destination. The company points to delays, equipment and capacity shortages.
