EXPERT INSIGHT: GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN CHALLENGES FOR 2024 Recently, the global supply chain has faced disrup�ons with the Panama and Suez Canals at the forefront. Let’s look at the intricacies of these challenges, their impact on interna�onal trade, and what the global supply chain is projected to look like for the rest of the year. The Panama Canal, a vital artery of global trade, has faced the brunt of a persistent doubt. Starting summer of last year, the canal faced some of its lowest water levels in history. With the El Nino phenomenon, the summer season was lengthened, and rains were directed elsewhere, increasing the drought severity. On January 17 th , 2024 , authorities cut already decreased traffic in the canal by 36% because of dipping water levels. This disruption particularly affects trade routes between Northeast Asia and ports along the East and Gulf Coasts that had benefitted in recent years from the widening of the canal. Though the dangerous conditions were already occasional in the Red Sea, they ramped up with the start of the Israel-Hamas conflict, leading to widespread shipping diversions. Since October, they have changed their targets from anything going in and out of Israel to essentially any vessel in the canal, especially oil tankers and container ships. The Suez Canal, and the Red Sea at large, is a major trade route between Asia, Europe, and the U.S. To circumvent these potential attacks, at least 90% of container ships are now following a similar path to the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe by going around the Cape of Good Hope, increasing transit times and cost. The main disruptions are from global shipping routes and capacities out of Vietnam, India, and other areas of Southeast Asia. As military movements change, and conflict in the Middle East continues, the global supply chain has to wait and see what will end up happening in the canal.
