[Global shipping hours extended] Due to the Red Sea crisismegamillionsjackpot, the average shortest transportation time on routes between Asia and the Mediterranean increased by 39%.

According to the latest analysis from Sea-Intelligence, the Red Sea crisis has forced shipping companies to bypass the Cape of Good Hope, resulting in increased transportation distances. This change directly increased the minimum transportation time from Asia to the Eastern Mediterranean by 61%-63%, and the minimum transportation time to the Central Mediterranean by 39%-40%. In contrast, transportation times on routes from Asia to Northern Europe increased by only 15% on average. CEO Alan Murphy pointed out that the Red Sea crisis had a relatively small impact on Nordic routes, with minimum transportation times only increasing by 7%-11%. In evaluating these changes, Sea-Intelligence emphasized the need to be cautious about estimates of transportation times, warning that even if the numbers may be impressive, there is still a need to be aware of potential issues behind them. Overall, the competitiveness of the shortest transit time of the Asia-Mediterranean route has increased by an average of 39% compared to the pre-crisis period.
