Insurer Swiss Re has come up with a chart to highlight the dramatic changes to the world seaborne map in recent years as shipping faces disruption in the Red and Black Seas as well as the Panama Canal and multiple drying up rivers.
“Pressure on global shipping routes is creating stress in global supply chains again, soon after the acute disruption experienced in the pandemic,” Swiss Re noted in a new report entitled Navigating shipping disruptions: signs of rougher seas ahead.
Contained in the report Swiss Re has a chart outlining shipping capacity transiting through the world’s top chokepoints in tonnes from 2019 to last month.
