Because of the attacks in the Red Sea, fewer ships are arriving in Hamburg. Many shipping companies take a detour around the cape.

The decline is also noticeable on German coasts. A look at the amount of goods sent worldwide shows that the drop in arrivals in Hamburg, but also in Bremerhaven, is likely to be a temporary phenomenon. Despite several air strikes, the armed forces of the USA and Great Britain have apparently not been able to ensure "more security" on the route.
