More than half (55%) of UK exporters say they have been impacted by disruption to shipping in the Red Sea. Over half (53%) of manufacturers and business-to-consumer service firms (such as retailers) also say they have been affected. The main impacts cited by businesses are increased costs and delays. New research by the British Chambers of Commerce's (BCC) Insights Unit has uncovered the scale of the impact on UK businesses caused by the disruption to shipping in the Red Sea. Almost two fifths (37%) of more than 1,000 firms surveyed overall for the research said they had been impacted - with exporters, manufacturers and B2C businesses (which include retailers and wholesalers) far more likely to report an impact.

Observers, both on-site and from afar, may find themselves intrigued by the logistics of transporting top-tier racehorses, particularly in the post-Brexit landscape where the UK stands outside the EU.
