So far, we have identified 419 vessels impacted by the Red Sea situation. The total capacity is estimated at 5.65 million TEU.


Please find the updated list of diverted vessels here with links to the services accessible to seaexplorer subscribers.


Kindly note that due to the volatility of the situation, Kuehne+Nagel cannot guarantee the completeness and accuracy of this list.


Recent developments

  • The first of the diverted vessels have started to arrive at their destination ports.
  • Media reports suggest that Chinese shipping company COSCO has stopped shipping to Israel. The details of the decision are not yet known.
  • Due to the extended transit times, container resupply into Asia will be delayed, resulting in a shortage of equipment in the run-up to the Chinese New Year holidays.


We are closely monitoring the developing situation in the Red Sea and working to minimise delay to your cargo. Our Kuehne+Nagel advisory details our efforts to support customers with affected shipments.


For further assistance, please get in touch with your local Kuehne+Nagel representative.
