# Systemic impacts of disruptions at maritime chokepoints

> A Nature Communications paper published on 24 November 2025 quantifies systemic losses from disruptions at maritime chokepoints. It estimates $192 billion of annual trade exposure, with about $10.7 billion in delay and trade losses and $3.4 billion in extra freight costs each year, driven mainly by Suez and Bab el-Mandeb risks.

## Why it matters

The study quantifies the ongoing cost of chokepoint risk to shipping and trade, which supports a persistent risk premium in freight. It is a research finding rather than a new disruption, so it has little immediate price impact.
