Principales repercusiones

Last updated April 20th, 2026

 

  • The Strait of Hormuz is largely shut down, with many ships turning around or re-routing. Amidst a ceasefire, Iran declared the waterway open and some shipping resumed, but the situation quickly deteriorated and returned to its previous state. 

 

  • Airline operations remain seriously impacted across the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent. 

 

  • Ocean freight rates to and from the Middle East, Gulf Region, and Indian Subcontinent continue to rise rapidly. 

 

  • Los precios de los seguros contra riesgos marítimos están aumentando considerablemente 

 

  • Los precios de los petroleros se están volviendo exorbitantes. 

 

  • Variabilidad del horario: cambios en nuevas reservas, fechas de salida, horas de llegada o escalas en puertos. 

 

  • Ajustes de costes: tarifas de transporte más elevadas, costes de seguros, costes de combustible o recargos temporales. 

Ocean Freight Impacts

  • The Eid holidays will have a regional impact on demand levels for 1-2 weeks and may impact capacity and rates.
  • Many leading ocean carriers have paused sailing through the Strait of Hormuz due to security concerns. Vessels have rerouted and turned around.
  • Los buques de carga que tenían previsto atravesar el canal de Suez volverán a transitar por el cabo de Buena Esperanza, en África.
  • Rate levels to and from the Middle East, Gulf Region, and Indian Subcontinent continue to rise rapidly. 
  • The United States has established a maritime warning zone in the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, North Arabian Sea, and the Strait of Hormuz, effectively halting shipping. 

 

Surcharges

  • Many General Rate Increases (GRIs) and Peak Season Surcharges (PSS) on primary trade lanes (i.e., Transpacific Eastbound) have not held into the second half of March.
  • Carriers and co-loaders are starting to announce their war surcharges on trade routes in the affected area.
  • Most carriers are expected to implement emergency fuel surcharges in April. The exact amounts and dates are still being reviewed.

Air Freight Impacts

Airspace restrictions remain in place for these countries:

Airspace is now open in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar

 

Fuel Surcharges: Carriers are implementing 20-40% increases to compensate for increased costs.

Airlines continue to serve Asia-Europe routes via restricted airspace; however, capacity and rates are being affected. Capacity remains available from Asian-flagged carriers who have rights to fly over Russian Airspace and CIS carriers (Silkway, etc.)
