Flexport CEO Warns Shipping Risks Remain

Thursday, July 9, 2026


Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen said on Bloomberg Open Interest that the Red Sea remains the biggest threat to global shipping, rather than the Strait of Hormuz. Petersen cited a surge in imports driven by tariff uncertainty and companies stockpiling inventory following the COVID supply chain crisis. He also identified potential drought risks at the Panama Canal as a possible future bottleneck for shipping.
