Marine shipping to Tunisia faces rising risks
Tunisia is facing an increasing crisis in maritime transportation costs, as shipping activity through the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb has declined due to security risks and geopolitical disturbances. This has led to rising shipping, insurance, and marine fuel prices. Such increases threaten to raise import costs, especially for basic commodities, amid ongoing inflation that reached 5.4% in August 2026, with continued pressure on food prices. If the rise in shipping costs coincides with higher energy and raw material prices, it could trigger a inflationary shock that impacts consumers and the broader Tunisian economy.
