🔥Greetings Maritime Mavericks,
For almost 2 years, global shipping learned how to live without the Red Sea.
Routes stretched, costs rose, and the market quietly adapted.
The Cape of Good Hope became the new normal.
But this normal is artificial.
Because one route still sits largely unused.
And when it reopens, it does not optimize the system — it resets it.
1️⃣ The Red Sea is still “offline” — by the numbers!

3️⃣ The first impact will be operational shock — not savings
4️⃣ After stabilization, freight rates face gravity
5️⃣ Why carriers are waiting — and why timing is everything?
