Following the recent attacks by the Houthi rebels of Yemen, against commercial vessels that have taken place in the Red Sea region.

We are informed by global shipping companies that these changes in shipping routes are causing operational complications and tariff surcharges:

• Extension of Transit Time: The new route via the Cape of Good Hope could increase the transit time by up to 20 days between Asia and Europe.
• Increased costs: This change in route will generate additional operating costs. Furthermore, although the Suez Canal toll is avoided, shipping companies will potentially have to mobilize more vessels to ensure continuous service.
• Capacity and equipment management: If the disruptions persist, a shortage of equipment for exports from Asia to Europe could occur and also impact other origins and destinations.

We collect and make available to you the various notices of modification and additional costs from shipping companies, as and when we receive them.

It is now compulsory for exporters to complete the questionnaire that will serve as the basis for authorizing screening until September 30, 2024. During this transitional period, the shipment of consignments will be maintained, giving the exporters concerned time either to become a known shipper or to modify their packaging.

On receipt of the questionnaire, the DGAC will notify exporters that their complete questionnaire has been received.

From April 1, 2024, in the absence of notification of receipt of the questionnaire, exporters will no longer be able to ship goods in these types of packaging by air. The DGAC strongly encourages exporters to send in the questionnaire before March 1, and to apply for known shipper status so that they can continue to ship their consignments by air.

Please do not hesitate to contact your RDT Group operational contact for any further information you may require.
