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, will unpack the impact of the Red Sea reopening. They will cover:

• 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.
• Live Q&A

The session will focus 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.
