    Gaming Out the Red Sea Outlook: Analyzing the Scenarios

    So much depends on the Red Sea, but what will happen in 2025? The resumption of safe vessel transits through the Suez Canal, should that occur through diplomatic or military action, almost immediately would unleash significant capacity back into the market, putting the industry in dire overcapacity straits and upending pricing in the industry. The status quo — in which most container traffic is currently routed around southern Africa — comes with its own consequences, including higher fuel costs and emissions. Through the lens of geopolitics, vessel capacity and ocean reliability, respective experts will stake out various scenarios for the Red Sea in 2025 and beyond.
