Three major international bodies have raised alarm over the potential consequences of prolonged shipping disruptions for global energy stability.

The International Energy Agency, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization have cautioned that if maritime transport operations do not return to normal functioning, the world faces serious risks to fuel security.

The organizations have emphasized that continued irregularities in shipping movements could undermine the reliable delivery of energy resources across international markets, creating vulnerabilities in global supply chains that depend on stable maritime commerce.
