Gulf crisis: more than 50 large container ships a day are unable to pass through. The alternative ports of Jeddah, Salalah and Khor Fakkan can absorb only 60% of the diverted traffic

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.
