PANAMA AND SUEZ CANALS: AN OVERVIEW OF THE SITUATION

Canal Suez Canal Panama

Areas of tension at the Panama and Suez Canal, two major crossing points. Since the end of August, the Panama Canal authorities have been informing us of a severe drought, forcing them to limit the number of daily ship passages and reduce their draught. The rainy season is drawing to a close, and the drought is still very much with us. The Suez Canal, meanwhile, has been hit by attacks on cargo ships in the southern Red Sea.

PANAMA CANAL: DROUGHT AND RESTRICTIONS

Reglementation BMSB

The severe drought affecting the whole of the American continent is having an impact on the Panama Canal, one of the most important crossing points between Asia and the United States. The Canal's low water level is forcing local authorities to impose restrictions, resulting in increasingly long vessel queues.

PORT CONGESTION THE USA UNDER PRESSURE

 

For more than two years the world of maritime transport has been suffering from unprecedented port congestion, mainly affecting the major world ports in China, Europe and the USA. With the resumption of activity in China, the situation is becoming increasingly tense, particularly in the USA. The waiting time for ships in various ports is getting longer, resulting in an increase in transit time.

PRESERVE YOUR MERCHANDISE BY INSULATING THE CONTAINERS

Logistique internationale

One of the major issues in international transport is the preservation of the products' quality, especially agri-food products. This is why our experts take particular care in organizing your shipments by always looking for the most appropriate equipment. In addition to specialized equipment, there are insulating materials to protect goods from temperature variations while ensuring water and air tightness.

Au-delà des équipements spécialisés, des isolants existent pour protéger les marchandises des variations de température tout en assurant une étanchéité à l’eau et à l’air.

SEA TRANSPORT: EU EMISSIONS TRADING SYSTEM

Carbon Tax

Faced with the challenges of limiting global warming, the European Commission unveiled its European Green Deal in December 2019, with the political ambition of making the European continent carbon neutral by 2050. The transport sector, and shipping in particular, is a major contributor to carbon emissions, and is therefore an integral part of the Green Deal. Measures are being put in place to adapt to the new regulations. This will be followed by the introduction of a carbon tax, calculated on each maritime shipment, as of January 1, 2024.

SHIPPING : BLANK SAILING IN SIGHT

Blank Sailing

Declining consumption, a situation that has been observed for several months now, is leading to overstocking, particularly in the West, lower freight rates and a supply of space on ships that outstrips demand. This situation is forcing shipping lines to react.

SITUATION EN MER ROUGE : LES PERTURBATIONS S'ENCHAINENT

Situation en Mer Rouge

La crise en Mer Rouge se poursuit et malgré la mise en place de la coalition militaire dirigée par les USA, les attaques contre les navires marchands continuent. Si certaines compagnies passent toujours par le Canal de Suez pour une partie de leurs navires, la plupart des armateurs ont suspendu tout passage par cette voie et privilégient le passage par le Cap de Bonne Espérance.
