The formal reactivation of this short-sea trade route represents a critical step forward for regional supply chain networks that have faced severe disruption and prolonged cargo reroutings over the past year.</p><p data-path-to-node="5"><b data-path-to-node="5" data-index-in-node="0">Rebuilding Bilateral Maritime Networks</b></p><p data-path-to-node="6">According to official communications published by regional trade facilitation panels and the Trade Development Organisation, direct vessel loops are beginning to move consistently between the two countries.
