The security situation in the Red Sea escalated this week with at least four vessels attacked and the prospect of further incidents after Yemen’s Houthis announced they would target not only Israeli-owned vessels but also those calling at ports in Israel. At present there is no clear link between two of these vessels and Israel, a sign that the scope of attacks on ships continues to widen. Safe passage through the Red Sea is now a serious concern, potentially impacting the flow of 8% of global seaborne bulk trade that passes through the Suez Canal. Jet fuel is the most exposed with over 30% of seaborne jet fuel shipped via the Suez Canal. Naphtha, diesel, grains and oilseeds and chemical products are also at risk at over 10%. At the moment, Kpler data shows no observable change in the number of vessels operating in the Red Sea or transiting the Suez Canal but we expect to see declines in both over the coming weeks if the situation continues. Tanker transits are up 15% y/y at 6,900 for 2023 already. The bulk of the increase has been LR2/Aframaxes, which are up 47% y/y. The primary cause of the uplift has been the change in Russian crude trade flows. The increase in exports to India and China over the last two years has resulted in greater utilization of the Suez Canal. Russia’s close links to Iran mean attacks on these ships sailing south are unlikely. But, the recent widening of the Houthi’s scope does not rule it out. Freight rates are expected to rise if a war risk premium is added or if vessels opt to travel around the Cape of Good Hope, adding weeks to the length of the journey. #oott #suezcanal #redsea #tankers #globaltrade

𝑶𝒊𝒍 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒕 𝑨𝒅𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑹𝒆𝒅 𝑺𝒆𝒂 𝑺𝒉𝒊𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒓𝒖𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝑨𝒎𝒊𝒅 𝑹𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑻𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 The oil market is proactively responding to the anticipated weeks-long disruption in the southern Red Sea shipping routes. This reaction follows recent Houthi attacks on merchant vessels, spurred by Israel's military actions in Gaza. Key highlights: 1. 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙘 𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙛𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙍𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙨: Oil tankers are increasingly rerouting to avoid the high-risk area, impacting global seaborne trade which usually sees about 12% of its volume through this route. 2. 𝙃𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙍𝙞𝙨𝙠𝙨 𝙋𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝘼𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙠𝙚𝙨: The situation worsened after US and UK airstrikes in Yemen on Jan. 12, leading to further avoidance of the area by shipping companies. 3. 𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙤𝙣 𝙏𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙚𝙧 𝙀𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨: The shift in routes, especially towards Asia and the detour around Africa, has significantly increased earnings for tanker owners. For instance, earnings for large tankers shipping oil products have jumped from $35,000 to $60,000 a day. 4. 𝙄𝙧𝙖𝙦𝙞 𝘾𝙧𝙪𝙙𝙚 𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙥𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙍𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙: Several Iraqi crude shipments are now taking thousands-of-miles detours around Africa, indicating a substantial shift in global oil transportation dynamics. 5. 𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧-𝙒𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝘼𝙙𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨: Container shipping and bulk commodity carriers are also rerouting to avoid the Red Sea, further indicating widespread market adaptations. The article, contributed by Alex Longley, Sherry Su, and Bill Lehane for Bloomberg, underscores the oil market's resilience and adaptability in the face of geopolitical disruptions and regional instability. https://lnkd.in/gX58mM5K

Following targeted attacks by Houthi militants on commercial shipping vessels in Yemen, major shipping companies have made strategic changes to their cargo sailing routes, steering clear of the Red Sea. These alterations have been prompted by concerns for vessel safety and security in the wake of escalating conflicts in the region. The Houthi group’s attacks, which escalated in support of Hamas at the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October, employed drones and rockets targeting foreign-owned vessels navigating through crucial trade routes, namely the Bab al Mandeb and Suez Canal. These routes serve as vital links between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean via the Red Sea, facilitating about a third of all worldwide container ship voyages. As a direct consequence of vessels being rerouted, oil prices have seen a significant surge. In the first trading session of the new year, Brent crude reportedly rose by 2% to $78 (£62) per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude stood at $73 (£58). BP announced a cessation of oil and gas shipments in December due to the escalating attacks. Germany’s Hapag-Lloyd quickly followed suit, rerouting several ships around Africa’s southern Cape of Good Hope “until the Red Sea is deemed safe for vessels and crews.” Maersk has also suspended transits through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden after one of its large carriers, the Maersk Hangzou, was targeted in the attacks. #hapaglloyd #maersk #shippinglines #freightforwarding

OIL TANKERS CONTINUE RED SEA MOVEMENTS DESPITE HOUTHI ATTACKS Oil and fuel tanker traffic in the Red Sea was stable in December, even though many container ships have rerouted due to attacks by Iran-aligned Houthi militants, a Reuters analysis of vessel tracking data showed. The attacks have driven up shipping costs sharply along with insurance premiums, but have had less impact than feared on oil flows, with shippers continuing to use the key East-West passage. The Houthis, who have said they are targeting Israel-bound vessels, have largely attacked non-petroleum goods shipments. #oil #oilshipping Read more: https://hubs.ly/Q02g5XMx0

The ongoing drone and missile attacks on #shipping vessels in the Red Sea by Yemen-based Houthi rebels are starting to significantly impact dry bulk shipments, including #grain, after being mainly limited to the container segment during the first stages of the crisis, an International Grains Council (IGC) analyst told World Grain. Alexander Karavaytsev, a senior economist with the IGC, said that according to IGC estimates, re-routing from the EU and the Black Sea countries via the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa “adds around 10 to 15 days to the journey time and around $6 to $8 per tonne to freight costs.” → https://ow.ly/X14X50QuqmY #agriculture #agribusiness #transportation
