The ongoing war involving Iran is severely impacting shipping routes and global trade. Recent reports highlight the vulnerability of ships and planes to GPS jamming in the region, leading to a significant decline in maritime traffic through the crucial Strait of Hormuz, where daily ship traffic has plummeted from 138 to just 2. Major shipping companies, including Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd, have suspended key Middle East routes, putting pressure on global supply chains. Approximately 52 French ships are reportedly stuck in the Gulf, with maritime insurers withdrawing coverage and raising policy prices. The instability has caused oil prices to surge, prompting fears of rising costs for essential goods such as drugs and electronics. As traffic through the Strait remains severely restricted, experts warn of far-reaching consequences for the international cargo industry.
