Slow shipping is already a thing. For example, many companies will decide to send their cargo around the capes instead of paying the associated fees to go through the panama/suez canals.

Mærsk’s Triple E-class, some of the largest container ships in the world, do use the Suez Canal to transport goods between Europe and Asia, but are slower than previous classes, with a design speed of 19 knots.
