<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Red Sea container transits hit post-crisis high as carriers accelerate return</strong></p>
<p>Container traffic through the Red Sea and Suez Canal continues to recover rapidly. In September, 314 containership transits passed through the Bab el Mandeb Strait, the highest monthly level since the Houthi attacks began in late 2023 and up 64% year on year. More major carriers are returning from the Cape of Good Hope route to the shorter Suez route. The Premier Alliance (ONE, HMM and Yang Ming) has announced that two Asia-North Europe services will resume Red Sea transits in both directions. Overall, about 35% of Asia-Europe sailings are now estimated to use the Red Sea route again. The return to the Suez route is increasing effective shipping capacity, putting downward pressure on freight rates.</p>

<p data-block-id="fgsqu">The South American debut of the World Ports Conference represents another landmark in IAPH’s deepening engagement with the South and Central American port sector, which includes the appointment of <a href="https://www.iaphworldports.org/pickup/1981" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guimara Tuñón Guerra</a> as development director for the region, the renewal via an MoU of historic close ties with Inter-American Committee on Ports of the Organization of the American States (OAS-CIP), the holding of a<a href="https://www.iaphworldports.org/news/iaphnews/22234/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> joint forum</a> for Latin American ports in Montevideo, Uruguay, and the translation of many of IAPH’s industry-leading <a href="https://www.iaphworldports.org/pickup/22231/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">publications</a> and <a href="https://www.iaphworldports.org/pickup/22530/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tools</a> into Spanish.</p>

<p data-block-id="ark5q">IAPH development director for Central and South America Guimara Tuñón Guerra commented: “Hosting the World Ports Conference in South America for the first time is an important milestone for IAPH and for the region. #IAPH2027 in Rio will give Latin American ports a valuable opportunity to contribute more directly to the global port agenda, share the solutions being developed across the region and build stronger partnerships around our common challenges and priorities.”</p>
