Considering some crated used/new parts out of Europe, no way a FCL.

Yes, transit ex Europe is taking the longer route around the horn of Africa, it adds a few weeks to the lead time.
There's been commercial ships hit with anti-ship ballistic missiles and drone attacks, while the US/UK have been staging attacks on Yemen, you'd have to have rocks in your head if you were a sea freight operator and decide to transit right through a war zone where one side is specifically targeting you
