Houthi attacks in Red Sea causing bigger impact on supply chain than early pandemic
Source Fxstreet

The vessel capacity drop is the second largest in recent years. The only single event with a bigger impact than the Red Sea crisis was “Ever Given,” the giant cargo ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal for six days during March 2021.
