project44 Flags Record Strait of Hormuz Rerouting as Delays Spill into India Trade Lanes

New updates have been reported about project44.

project44 is leveraging its global supply chain data graph to quantify severe disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, reporting that average daily ocean freight diversions have surged more than 360%, from 218 to 1,010, with a record 2,363 diversions logged on March 5 in a single day. The company’s latest Supply Chain Insights report positions project44 as a critical decision-support provider for shippers and carriers as all major ocean lines, led by MSC with 59% of tracked diversions, reshape schedules and routing strategies across the Gulf and into South Asia.

According to project44’s data, rerouting is heavily concentrated at key Gulf hubs including Jebel Ali, Abu Dhabi and Hamad, while Khawr Fakkan alone is absorbing about 15% of total diversions and additional redirected volumes are now flowing into Sohar, Hambantota, Mundra and Mumbai, driving mounting congestion risks. With no viable long-haul alternative for many Gulf-origin cargos and several ports effectively cut off from direct ocean access, project44 warns of extended transit times and schedule instability, particularly in India where arrival delays at Mundra are projected to reach 49 days and departure delays at Navi Mumbai have risen 118%, underscoring the value of its AI-driven disruption monitoring and decision-intelligence platform for customers seeking to evaluate rerouting options, manage war-risk exposure and preserve supply chain continuity as the situation and insurance conditions continue to evolve.
