No Observable Change in Red Sea Transit Patterns After Attacks: Kpler

OIL

At the moment, Kpler data shows no observable change in the number of vessels operating in the Red Sea or transiting the Suez Canal as a result of escalating attacks.

  • Kpler expect to see declines in both over the coming weeks if the situation continues.
  • Freight rates are expected to rise if a war risk premium is added or if vessels opt to travel around the Cape of Good Hope, adding weeks to the length of the journey it added.
  • See Kpler chart showing share of seaborne bulk flows via the Suez Canal in recent years.
