Abstract: 2023년 12월에 예멘 후티 반군이 홍해 상선을 공격하면서 이스라엘-하마스 간 전쟁은 홍해를 둘러싼 지정학적 리스크로 확산되었으며, 이에 따라 수에즈 운하를 통해 형성되었던 아시아와 유럽 간 물류 공급망이 무너지기 시작했다. 홍해를 지나 수에즈 운하를 통과하던 기존 물류 경로가 남아공 희망봉을 우회하는 경로로 바뀌면서 우리나라를 포함한 전 세계는 해운 물류비와 보험료 상승을 경험했으며, 이에 따른 수출 경쟁력 약화와 물가 상승이라는 이중고를 겪을 수 있는 상황에 직면했다. 이와 동시에 홍해 위기와 같은 물류 위기가 추가로 발생할 경우, 이를 대체할 수 있는 육상 및 해상 물류망에 대한 국제적인 관심이 높아지면서 안정적인 공급망 지속을 위한 물류 기지 건설 관련 논의가 본격적으로 이루어졌다. In December 2023, the Houthi rebels in Yemen launched attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea, escalating the Israel-Hamas conflict into a broader geopolitical risk encompassing the Red Sea region. This development disrupted the logistics supply chain between Asia and Europe, which had previously relied heavily on the Suez Canal. As maritime routes shifted from the Suez Canal to the Cape of Good Hope, countries worldwide, including South Korea, faced increased shipping and insurance costs. This situation posed the dual challenges of weakened export competitiveness and rising inflation.Simultaneously, the Red Sea crisis underscored the need for alternative land and maritime logistics networks to ensure supply chain stability. This led to heightened international interest in establishing new logistics hubs. Notably, discussions surrounding the Indo-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), announced at the 2023 G20 Summit, and the Development Road project, actively promoted by Turkiye and Iraq, gained traction following the Red Sea crisis.
