West Asia crisis has turned logistics into 'anyhow, anytime', says DP World chief
DP World's chief executive says West Asia's crisis has disrupted logistics, with Jebel Ali port in Dubai the centre of trouble. Separately, Russia's share of India's August oil imports fell to 44% while two other suppliers gained. India got over two-thirds of its crude from three countries.
Supply chains that depend on a few routes or suppliers are vulnerable.
Longer delivery times can feed into prices of imported goods.
Disruption in Dubai is affecting shipping and India relies on three oil suppliers.
