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

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.
