Hopefully yours stays clear of the Red Sea.
The container with my car cleared any Somali pirates and avoided the Red Sea. The Suez Canal is effectively closed now with most major carriers suspending operations in the area.

My container just docked in Dubai, having made it from South Africa, and is now headed to India to be transferred on to a Chinese ship. Then to Shanghai area to be transferred again to a Liberian registered ship bound for the US.

It also turns out that the Panama Canal, if the container had gone west from South Africa instead of east is suffering significant congestion and delays because of drought and low water levels.

What a struggle !
