We have to recognize the geographical limitations that already exist in that region.
That's something that we have been experiencing in recent years from conflicts.
I mean, the Red Sea was another example in that respect.
And that's why the call from us and from my side will continue to reiterate the fact that shipping is innocent and should not be used as collateral damage.
The more that everybody around the world notices how negatively affected it is because of these kinds of situations, the more that shipping will start getting the recognition that it actually deserves and normally doesn't get, particularly the innocent seafood
For the longer this conflict and the situation continues, the more that we will see the negative effect.
We're talking about an area that exports 20% of oil to the rest of the world.
That already has an impact on several other sectors and industry.
Then when we looked into fertilizers, 13% come from there, as well as other chemicals.
That has an immediate effect, negative effect on agriculture and food security.
Then, of course, is all the humanitarian aspect that has to go into the necessary essential goods for the people, the communities around the Persian Gulf.
All this will have a longer negative effect and, of course, increase costs for as long as the conflict is in place.
Logistically, when ships don't meet their schedules, they start piling up in different ports and their ports need to start adjusting their operations.
All this has a negative effect that takes weeks, sometimes months for the whole logistical sector in shipping to actually then goes back to normal.
We don't work directly on those trade decisions.
But of course, shipping can activate other routes if required.
What is important to recognize is that since we're talking about the essential goods that come from this region, even through multimodal transportations, there will be limitations for them to actually reach out to the final destination.
So the reality is that we go back to how essential shipping is on this very strategic part of the world and how we need this conflict to deescalate
and allow us to continue to trade as normal.
