What is the Red Sea disruption and how does it affect India-EU shipping?

Curated by Vinod Kumar Jain & Amit Jain · All Frontier Global · free, no login

Red Sea disruptions (from late 2023) caused by Houthi attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea caused most shipping lines to reroute via the Cape of Good Hope (around Africa), adding 10-14 days to India-EU transit times and significantly increasing freight rates. As of 2026, many shipments still use the Cape route. Check current routing with your freight forwarder and budget for extended transit times and higher rates.
