🇮🇳🇵🇰📝 Ryan Petersen: The rising tensions between India and Pakistan due to the Pahalgam terror attacks are now disrupting ocean shipping.

Over the weekend, both nations imposed bans on cargo originating from each other transshipping to their respective countries.

The Pakistan to India feeder route has gained popularity due to limited direct shipping options from Pakistan, longer transit times to Colombo, and persistent congestion.

Carriers are now adjusting their services, with some vessels being redirected back to Pakistan to unload cargo, while others are rerouting to Colombo.

Currently, there are no confirmed restrictions on Pakistan cargo with a port call in India remaining on board for its final destination.

We are hearing mixed reports from our carriers and Flexport team on the ground in India if this will persist.

If India or Pakistan ban cargo remaining on board we will see carriers add a port call in Oman or Sri Lanka on these services to pick up this cargo.

This will certainly delay cargo transit times and if cargo remaining on board is restricted, the impact will be much larger.
