Global logistics disruptions: how to anticipate risks across your supply chain
Global logistics disruptions are once again affecting international trade and creating new challenges for supply chain management. Over recent months, market conditions have become increasingly uncertain due to geopolitical tensions, maritime congestion, and rising energy costs. Strategic routes such as the Strait of Hormuz and the Suez Canal remain critical to global freight flows. Any disruption in these areas can quickly impact transit times, freight rates, and transport capacity worldwide. In this environment, companies need to adapt quickly to protect operations and remain competitive. Why global logistics disruptions are increasing?
