AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoHormuz Shipping: UKMTO reported 12 vessel attacks across the Strait of Hormuz and nearby waters in the past week, with one ship lost. Traffic through the strait remains about 70% below pre-conflict levels, disrupting a vital route for global energy supplies. Freight Costs: Washington is weighing limited sanctions relief for some oil tankers, but the move may do little to ease shipping costs. Rising freight rates are already squeezing oil trade and pushing up costs for goods. Black Sea Trade: Ukraine warned that attacks and port restrictions put 32 million tonnes of agricultural exports, worth about $10 billion, at risk. Logistics Investment: Al Sharqi Shipping opened a $19 million Dubai hub with temperature-controlled storage, expanding distribution capacity for food, retail and other sectors.
