Increased logistics costs for large components transported via the Red Sea have been reported due to a severe shortage of shipping containers, exacerbated by the Iran-Israel conflict. This shortage has led to rising sea freight expenses from China, impacting prices for IT hardware, TVs, washing machines, and air conditioners. Geopolitical tensions and attacks on cargo ships have forced freighters to take longer routes, significantly raising costs and delivery times. Major shipping lines have ceased Red Sea operations, rerouting around the Cape of Good Hope, affecting global trade and leading to a projected 15-20% capacity loss in the industry.
