Red Sea Reroute: Why Your Orders Now Take Longer and Cost More


Listen Later

This episode explains how attacks in the Red Sea forced carriers to reroute ships around the Cape of Good Hope, adding 10–14 days to voyages, spiking fuel and insurance costs, and triggering surcharges that drove container rates sharply higher.

We break down the domino effects on global supply chains — longer transit times, capacity tightness, route shifts, and costs passed to consumers — and discuss how businesses are adapting by diversifying routes and prioritizing resilience over the cheapest option.
