380,000 containers per week remain blocked or diverted to alternative, longer and more expensive routes. Direct impact on industrial supplies, consumer goods and retail prices globally.

Port of Salalah (Oman): documented 96-hour operational blockade. The concentration of traffic on a few alternative hubs increases the risk of cascading logistics collapse in the event of a new simultaneous blockage.

The damage to global supply chains is structural and cannot be resolved with the end of the conflict. Alternative port infrastructures are not sized to handle Gulf volumes in the long term.
