The violence related to the Israeli-Hamas War is endangering the global economy. The shipping shipping of the Red Sea was paused, and the tanker and container ship were forced to bypass Africa.
Two European oil and natural gas giants said on Monday that their oil tankers will avoid the sea outside the door, which means that they give up to enter the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal.Since Iran's support for Hascean armed organizations to support Hamas and increased its attack on merchant ships, more and more large container transport companies have to withdraw from the waters.
European natural gas prices soared 13%, giving the most clear evidence of the impact of energy trade since the Harbin War.Brent crude oil futures rose 3.9%.
From BP to Matsky, companies that transport consumer goods, coal, corn and other commodities, as well as enterprises of energy products will face longer range in the future.Although the global supply chain still has the power to deal with the tension of recent transportation energy, the Suez Canal suddenly closed in 2021, letting people know how fragile this logistics network would be.
As global trade is threatened, U.S. officials do everything possible to plan for countermeasures.Minister of Defense Austin will convene other ministerial meetings on Tuesday, and it is expected that a new maritime special force troops will be proposed to deal with Yemenmen forces.But it is not easy to do, and the Gulf countries have not reached an agreement.
Trade threats
These incidents have threatened a global important trade corridor, and about 12%of the world's shipping trade is carried out through this corridor.At the same time, another important sea transportation channel, the Panama Canal -is seriously affected by drought.The central banks of various countries are cautious about inflation risk.
Apollo Global Management Chief Economist Torsten Slok said, "The uncertainty of the Suez Canal has risen, and the global economy has rebounded due to the loose financial environment.
According to the data compiled by Bloomberg, only 56 merchant ships came in and out of the Red Sea on Saturday and Sunday, a 35%decrease from the beginning of the month.
BP said that the changes in the region are evaluated. Stopping into the Red Sea is mainly preventive measures. This approach will be maintained during the evaluation stage.Whether it is BP itself or its rental ships, it will not pass through the Red Sea. After the company announced the decision for a few hours, the Equinor ASA in Norway follows up.
According to Shipo, a tanker was hit by "unknown objects" on Monday.Attacks occur almost every day in the Red Sea.
"The degree of upgrading now exceeds any time we have experienced," Lars Barstad, chief executive officer of the Whenever Whenee FRONTLINE LTD. Management Department, said in an interview with Bloomberg TV."This is a huge risk concern."
The Houthi armed forces supported by Iran said that as a response to the Harbin War, any vessels connected to Israel would become the goal.But in the past week, such a connection seems to be getting far -fetched.The shipowner of the oil tanker Swan Atlantic on Monday said that their tanker had nothing to do with Israel.
RIEBER SON issued a statement on the website stating on the website that the ship of the ship (Norway), the technical manager (Singapore), and the logistics chain of the cargo have nothing to do with Israel.
Rising premiums
The Well -known Insurance Institutional Joint War Insurance Committee came out of the Red Sea Circle on Monday, which is considered to be the most dangerous waters in the world, which means that ships passing through the waters need to pay more premiums for the risk of war.Since the first attack, this type of premium has increased by nearly nine times.
Later last week, about a day, the three container vessels were attacked, prompting the top three shipowners, including Masky, to announce the plan to stay away from the water area.The German container transportation company HAPAG-LLOYD AG said on Monday that several ships would bypass South Africa instead of passing through the Suez Canal.A spokesman said that this situation will continue until the canal and the Red Sea are safe again.
Ryan Petersen, the founder of logistics company Flexport, posted on X that 46 container ships have abandoned the Red Sea and bypass South Africa.There are 78 ships waiting for instructions.
The shipping rate of containers from Asia to the Mediterranean has risen.According to data from Freightos.com, the international freight booking and payment platform, as of Sunday, the shipping price of the 40 -foot container of the Suez Canal was US $ 2414, since the end of November, it has risen by 62%.
The Suez Canal has become the main channel for global liquefied natural gas trade in the past two years.As the Panama Canal congestion needs to take a longer route that needs to be transported to Asia, the importance of the Suez Canal has been further enlarged this year.Now the liquefied natural gas boat has to change the corner of the road, which is a longer and more expensive route.
"This situation does mean rising transportation costs and some short -term delivery delays," said Henning Glaystein, director of the research institution Eurasian Group."All these costs will be passed directly to consumers."
