The Red Sea is a vital global trade waterway connecting Asia, Europe, and Africa. However, it is also a hotspot for geopolitical tensions, piracy, and armed attacks. In the past few weeks, several incidents have disrupted maritime traffic and raised security concerns in the area. This is claimed to be a consequence of the Israel / Palestine conflict, which sees attacks on Commercial vessels thought to be headed for Israel.
These incidents have increased the risk of shipping in the region, and we have seen action taken by most of the world's largest container carriers (VOCCs) to mitigate the risk for their employees and vessels operating in these waters.
Below is a recap of the current situation as announced by carriers as of today; however, the situation is very fluid and can change quickly:
This conflict will have massive implications on Global trade, and all shippers should expect severe delays, vessels out of place for weeks or months to come, and significantly increased costs on all services transiting the Red Sea. The full scope of implications is unclear, but we at JAS will do our utmost to keep you updated on the situation as it unfolds and work with all customers and partners to provide the best solutions possible.
For any questions and concerns, please contact your local JAS office.
Thank you.

In 2023, JAS Worldwide achieved meaningful milestones in sustainability by embodying a global commitment to responsible business practices. From forming a dedicated sustainability team to driving climate protection initiatives and social responsibility activities, JAS continues its journey as a responsible corporate citizen.
The year began with foundational steps, including the creation of a Worldwide Sustainability Team, and Materiality Analysis, identifying key sustainability issues. Followed by Sustainability Training to empower the sales force, integrating sustainable practices into customer interactions.
April saw JAS calculate its Scope 3 emissions automatically per shipment, gaining insights for targeted reductions. Moreover, JAS led a global Earth Day campaign, with colleagues undertaking projects like cleaning up streets and beaches – Corporate volunteering continued all year round, reinforcing the company's dedication to social responsibility with the Bruni Foundation.
Throughout the year, JAS nominated Sustainability Ambassadors to expand their reach on a local level, submitted to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and launched an internal Sustainability Community channel open to all employees to engage on sustainability topics.
In June, the company joined the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), committing to set science-based targets through towards Net Zero 2050. In July, JAS Sweden introduced the first electric truck, introducing greener road freight transportation options for our customers.
To enhance customer visibility and reduce emissions, JAS launched the JAS SmartHub emissions simulation tool in August. Simultaneously, an internal monthly Sustainability Webinar series was initiated to raise awareness among employees, ensuring that sustainability remains at the forefront of the company's operations.
JAS joined the UN Global Compact in September highlighting its commitment to upholding universal principles on human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. The company actively deployed external awareness campaigns and kicked off the Bruni Foundation's "Pay it Forward" program with the aim of promoting employee engagement while supporting local communities in need and the environment.
JAS continued its sustainability journey in October by submitting a new EcoVadis assessment, and launching the Sustainable Marine Biofuel insetting product, which enables our customers to save up to 100% CO2e reduction of their shipment (versus equivalent fossil fuels) through overallocation.
In November, JAS became a Blue Whales Blue Skies program ambassador, a program that aims to reduce vessel speeds along the California coast to protect endangered whales, reduce fuel consumption and regional greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the company launched an emissions reporting feature on the SmartHub platform, and provided top management with sustainability learning sessions.
JAS expresses sincere gratitude to all partners, customers, employees, and the community for the great collaboration and shared values on sustainability topics. Sustainability is a collective effort, and we appreciate the contributions of each stakeholder. Looking back on a transformative year, we express thanks for your collaboration, and we eagerly anticipate continuing to drive the sustainability agenda even further in 2024, building on the momentum of shared commitment and responsibility.

JAS proudly shares its commitment to sustainable business practices through a partnership with client Vagabond Shoemakers. In an effort to minimize excess stock while contributing to charitable causes, Vagabond Shoemakers donated over 1300 pairs of shoes to Human Bridge, a non-profit organization specializing in redistributing surplus goods for humanitarian purposes.
Vagabond Shoemakers, recognized for its dedication to sustainability, actively seeks to ensure that unsold footwear finds purpose beyond its original inventory. The collaboration with Human Bridge aligns with both companies' values of social responsibility and environmental stewardship.
"We are so thankful, and it is just fantastic when we can go beyond our daily operations and also join our supportive actions,” said Anna Fahle Björcke, Sustainability Manager at Vagabond Shoemakers.
JAS Worldwide and Vagabond Shoemakers share a close partnership, and when the opportunity arose to support Human Bridge's mission, there was no hesitation. The donated shoes will be resold through selected channels, with the generated funds earmarked for the purchase of healthcare equipment for designated countries, with a special focus on Ukraine.
This initiative not only showcases the commitment of JAS Worldwide and Vagabond Shoemakers to sustainable business practices but also emphasizes their dedication to making a positive impact on communities in need. By supporting charity through the donation of shoes, these companies are demonstrating the powerful role that corporate responsibility plays in shaping a better and more equitable world.

Two weeks into the crisis in the Red Sea, the situation continues to be critical and extremely dynamic. The world’s largest container carriers (VOCC’s) have chosen most of their voyages utilizing re-routing of their vessels around the Cape of Good Hope.
These incidents have increased the risk of shipping in the region, and we have seen action taken by most of the world's largest container carriers (VOCCs) to mitigate the risk for their employees and vessels operating in these waters.
Below is a recap of the current situation as announced by carriers today; however, the situation is very fluid and continues to evolve.
This conflict continues to have significant implications for Global trade. The global carrier community is citing impact to the equipment pool, balance as well as a potential vessel shift to facilitate operational network needs. JAS will continue to monitor the situation and keep you appraised accordingly.
