Impact of Maritime Disruption on Global Trade
Disruptions in maritime shipping, such as rocket attacks on maritime routes, have significant implications on global trade. These incidents can lead to a reduction in the flow of goods through critical passages like the Straits of Hormuz, causing delays in shipments and increasing transportation costs. As a consequence, supply chains are disrupted, leading to additional fuel expenses, backed-up delivery schedules, and higher maritime insurance costs, ultimately affecting the profitability of end products.
