香港Art Central艺术展海外画廊表示，由于美以对伊朗战争导致航运费用飙升，他们考虑将展品留置香港数月。燃料附加费最高涨四倍，部分画廊面临运送难题。艺术展于周三在中环海滨开幕，持续至周日。
香港Art Central艺术展于周三在中环海滨开幕，吸引逾100家来自香港、中国内地、韩国、日本、新加坡、美国、英国、西班牙、以色列等地的画廊参展，直至周日结束。海外画廊负责人透露，受美以对伊朗战争影响，运往香港的艺术品航运费用大幅上涨，燃料附加费最高增至四倍，导致他们考虑将展品暂时留港数月，以待时机再运出，例如直至五月的Affordable Art Fair举行。迈阿密Wolf & Nomad画廊创始人兼总监Simon Vargas表示，今年运送过程异常艰难，其中一个装有大型作品的箱子仅于周三抵达，迫使他调整展位布置。“我们通常经卡塔尔运送，但被取消并退回。随后经阿姆斯特丹，也被取消。我们只好先运至纽约，再转香港，”Vargas对《南华早报》说。画廊们称运至香港已属不易，返程更需权衡选项。
