The effects of Yemen's Houthis obstructing cargo ships in the Red Sea
We shouldn't take the consequences of Yemen's Houthis impeding cargo ships crossing the Bab al-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea for granted. More than a hundred have already begun to transfer from the Suez Canal route to the Cape of Good Hope.
This forces the majority of the biggest shipping companies in the world to opt against using the Red Sea route, forcing ships sailing from the Far East to Europe to take a detour around the whole African continent via the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.
Suez Canal rerouting to the Cape of Good Hope
More than a week will pass throughout the trip, adding over 3,500 nautical miles (6,482 kilometers).
As a result, it will have an impact on the Suez Canal, the shortest path between Europe and Asia that links the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. Usually, 12% of all shipping traffic passes through the canal.
Suez Canal vs. Cape of Good Hope route
The Suez Canal route is expedited by the lack of wind and current, which may cause ships to travel open seas slowly. Moreover, the Suez Canal offers superior maritime protection and is frequently less susceptible to inclement weather.
