When carriers finally return to the Suez Canal, how will it happen and what will it mean for your supply chain?

In this 40-minute webinar, Niels Madsen, VP of Product & Operations at Sea-Intelligence, and Anne-Sophie Fribourg, VP of Ocean Freight Procurement at Zencargo, unpack the impact of the Red Sea reopening, including:

  • What happened and why: a timeline of the disruption, how carriers reacted, and where we are today
  • Why carriers are looking to return to the Suez Canal: the operational and financial drivers and what’s really motivating decision-makers.
  • What happens next: investigating potential scenarios for the return and the associated impact on capacity, port congestion, rates, and schedule reliability.
  • The wider geopolitical backdrop and its influence on routing decisions, including Middle East risks, global tensions, and shifting trade patterns.

The session focuses on trends, risks and practical implications for importers and exporters, from shifting transit times and reduced visibility to short-term cost pressures and the longer-term impact heading into 2026.
