Executive Alert:

The escalating situation in the Red Sea poses a serious threat to your supply chain and bottom line. 

Recent attacks have disrupted critical shipping lanes, leading to:

  • Soaring Costs: Container costs have already skyrocketed by 250% for some businesses, potentially translating into hundreds of thousands of pounds in losses.
  • Crippled Deliveries: Delays of 10-14 days due to the Cape of Good Hope detour jeopardize crucial sales seasons like Valentine’s and Mother’s Day, impacting revenue and customer satisfaction.
  • Unpredictable Future: The volatile situation casts a shadow over the future of this vital trade route, bringing uncertainty and potential cost fluctuations.
Don’t Wait, Act Now:
  • Stress Test Your Supply Chain: Conduct a comprehensive analysis to identify vulnerabilities and assess potential risks. DMT Solutions offers a complimentary cost audit to help you optimise your supply chain and reduce overheads by up to 75%.
  • Embrace Diversification: Explore alternative shipping routes and diversify your supplier base to mitigate dependence on the Red Sea and ensure product availability.
  • Proactive Pricing: Anticipate cost increases and factor them into pricing strategies to maintain profitability and customer trust.
  • Open Communication: Keep stakeholders informed about potential delays and price adjustments. Transparency builds trust and minimises disruptions.


The Red Sea attacks are not a temporary inconvenience; it’s a call to action.
