Government Directors
quit India Ports Global as US sanctions hit Chabahar Port
The
government-appointed directors on the board of India Ports Global Ltd (IPGL),
the state-run firm tasked with developing and running the India-funded Chabahar
Port in Iran, have resigned en masse amid renewed US sanctions on the project.
The
company’s website has also been taken down as the government seeks legal advice
on its next steps.
The sanctions, which came into effect on Monday (September 29), give Indian entities, including IPGL, 30 days to exit Chabahar Port or risk asset freezes and exclusion from the US financial system. A comfort letter from the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) allows India until October 28 to wind down operations, with an interim deadline of October 22 to submit details of the withdrawal plan.

Chennai achieved a new milestone with the arrival of MV HF Spirit,
operated by SITC Logistics (Pty) Ltd, marking the launch of the Yangon–Chennai
Service (YCS) on 27th September 2025.
The
newly introduced service will directly connect Yangon (MMRGN) and Chennai
(INMAA), offering faster transit times, higher frequency sailings, and expanded
trade lane coverage.
This
strategic addition is expected to strengthen trade flows and cater to the
growing shipping demands across the region. The launch of YCS underscores
PSA Chennai’s commitment to enhancing connectivity and providing reliable,
efficient shipping solutions to support regional and global trade.
Suez Canal Authority
calls on Maersk to restart gradual transits
On
October 1, 2025, Suez Canal Authority Chairman Osama Rabie met with Danish
Ambassador Lars Bo Møller in Ismailia, accompanied by senior officials,
including Vice Chairman Ashraf Atwa.
The
meeting focused on future cooperation and ongoing projects of mutual
interest.
Rabie
said: “We value the close partnership that unites the Suez Canal and Maersk,
which has resulted in many successes,” citing development plans and new
expansions at the Suez Canal Container Terminal in East Port Said, scheduled to
open in the coming period.
He added that the Authority is committed to adopting projects in the maritime industry and logistics and building partnerships that maximize the benefits of the canal’s strategic location.
Alphaliner estimates
that USTR tariffs will cost container carriers $3.2 billion in 2026
The
global shipping industry faces a significant financial challenge as United
States Trade Representative (USTR) actions to “reverse Chinese dominance and
restore American shipbuilding” take effect later this month.
According
to a new analysis by maritime intelligence firm Alphaliner, leading container
shipping companies could face a combined $3.2 billion in fees by 2026 if they
maintain their current fleet deployment patterns to the United States.
Under
the USTR Section 301 measures effective Oct. 14, Chinese-owned or
operated vessels will be charged $50 per net ton (NT) per voyage to the U.S.,
rising by $30 each year through 2027. In addition, non-Chinese operators using
Chinese-built ships over 4,000 TEU or 55,000 DWT face fees starting at $18 per
NT or $120 per TEU in 2025, increasing $5 annually.
Both
fee categories are capped at five voyages per vessel per year and cannot be
combined. Meanwhile, operators that order a U.S. built vessel may receive up to
a three year suspension of these fees.
COSCO
Group stands to be most severely impacted with potential fees reaching US$ 1.53
Billion of the total US$3.2 Billion estimated for the top 10 carriers, assuming
fleet deployments remain unchanged next year.
ZIM, ONE and CMA CGM also face substantial exposure with projected fees of US$ 510 Million, US$ 363 Million and US$ 335 Million respectively. Alphaliner notes that these 3 carriers “deploy a large share of ships chartered from Chinese shipowners,” placing them in the first category of sanctions.
The
USTR’s actions represent the implementation of a plan announced in April 2025,
which was scaled back from earlier proposals. The final plan softened fee
levels and offered exemptions and incentives, aiming to curb Chinese maritime
dominance without severely disrupting global trade flows.
As
the October 14 implementation date approaches, the shipping industry continues
to adapt strategies to mitigate these unprecedented regulatory costs while
maintaining service reliability across global supply chains.
EU set to raise tariffs on steel imports
The
European Union is planning to boost tariffs on steel imports in an effort to
help local producers cope with the impact of Asian overcapacity as well as new
trade barriers imposed by the US.
The
European Commission, the EU's executive arm, will propose early next week a
long-term mechanism that will also reduce the bloc's existing quotas for
foreign steel by almost a half, the EU's industry chief, Stephane Sejourne,
told a closed-door event on Wednesday, according to a source.
Steel
imports exceeding those quotas will be subject to the new tariff rate, which
will mirror the policy of other jurisdictions, such as the US, which imposes a
50 percent duty on imported steel.
The
EU currently has a temporary mechanism in place to safeguard the bloc’s steel
industry, which imposes a 25 per cent tariff on most imports once quotas are
exhausted. That mechanism expires next year and the commission has been working
to replace it with a more permanent instrument, which it plans to unveil next
week.
The
effort to protect domestic steel producers coincides with discussions EU
leaders are having in Copenhagen Wednesday on how to boost the bloc’s defence
capabilities.
“Our
reality today and tomorrow is security and security means armaments and
armaments means steel”, Polish PM Donald Tusk told reporters in the Danish
capital. “We have to protect our companies, our stell companies and our steel
companies in Europe and in Poland”.
Evergreen
line to launch new China – Indonesia – Malaysia service
Evergreen
Line has announced the launch of a new China – Indonesia – Malaysia (CIM)
service, set to begin from October 31, 2025.
This
will be in partnership with Wan Hai Lines and Yang Ming Marine Transport
Corporation.
The
new service expands Evergreen’s regional network and enhances direct
connections between North China and the Indonesian market.
The
CIM Loop will be operated by five vessels with capacities between 1900 and 2200
TEUs. The maiden voyage is scheduled to
depart from Dalian Port on November 01, 2025 with the EVER ORDER 094.
The
rotation will be : Dalian – Xingang – Qingdao – Ningbo – Surabaya – Jakarta –
Singapore – Port Kelang (West Port) – Kaoshiung – Dalian.
Evergreen
said the new service will strengthen its competitiveness in Asia by offering
customers faster, more reliable and direct delivery options.
Maersk to implement tariff increase on
imports to Central Europe
Maersk
has announced that, effective Q4 2025, it will introduce a tariff increase of
EUR 40 per container on all import shipments to the Czech Republic, Slovakia
and Hungary.
The
company said the adjustment is driven by persistent infrastructure constraints
and rising operational costs across key European corridors, particularly
affecting rail services.
These
pressures have increased the complexity and cost of maintaining reliable inland
transportation. Maersk noted that while it has worked to absorb costs and
mitigate impacts, the tariff adjustment is necessary to ensure the stability
and quality of its inland operations.
FedEx starts direct flight linking
Indianapolis and Dublin
FedEx has
begun operating a new cargo flight between Indianapolis, Indiana, and Dublin,
Ireland. The company announced that the 767 service will run four days a week.
The route is intended to move goods from Dublin via Indianapolis instead of
using coastal gateways and shorten transit time by one day.
It also
gives U.S. exporters a direct connection to European markets in high-tech,
healthcare and transportation. Richard Smith, chief operating officer,
international, and chief executive officer, airline, said, “This flight
highlights the success of our Tricolour international network redesign strategy
in strengthening our capabilities in the global air freight market.
By adding
this route, U.S.-based customers can reduce delivery times to one of Europe’s
key innovation hubs, where industries like healthcare, electronics, and
aerospace are experiencing significant growth.
Our
network, augmented by advanced digital tools, is designed to support customers
in these expanding sectors.” Wouter Roels, regional president of FedEx Europe,
said, “Ireland is a vibrant export market, with around 68% of total goods
exported in early 2025 going into the U.S. – with industries like
pharmaceuticals and medical equipment leading the way.
The
addition of a direct flight between Dublin and Indianapolis marks a proud
milestone for FedEx, connecting businesses across key industries with U.S.
growth markets.” The launch comes as FedEx expands infrastructure at its
Indianapolis hub, which recently added a cold-chain facility of more than
16,000 square feet.
It
includes three temperature zones ranging from minus 25°C to 25°C and a re-icing
room. FedEx said customers on the new route can use tools such as FedEx
Delivery Manager, FedEx Import Tools, the FedEx International Connect Plus
service and the FedEx Surround Monitoring & Intervention suite for
tracking, documentation and monitoring of high-value, automotive and healthcare
shipments.
Titan Aviation adds two A330-300P2F aircraft to mas fleet
Titan
Aviation Leasing (Titan), a joint venture between Titan Aviation Holdings,
Inc., a subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide, and Bain Capital, has announced the
acquisition of two converted Airbus A330-300 Passenger-to-Freighter (P2F)
aircraft (MSN 1789 and 1712) equipped with Rolls-Royce engines from Airbus
Financial Services.
Both
aircraft are now on long-term lease with mas, a leading Mexican cargo carrier,
with Titan managing the freighter assets, according to an official release from
Atlas Air. This transaction bolsters Titan’s portfolio with its first Airbus
freighters and represents the inaugural acquisition under Titan Aircraft
Investments II, DAC (‘TAI 2’), the company’s second dedicated freighter
aircraft investment platform with Bain Capital, which launched earlier this
month.
The firms’
joint venture platform is focused on delivering flexible and efficient
freighter leasing solutions worldwide. Also Read - Air cargo industry mourns
the passing of Conor Brannigan “The addition of the A330-300P2F represents an
exciting milestone for Titan as we diversify our portfolio with versatile
solutions tailored to customer growth,” says Eamonn Forbes, Chief Commercial
Officer, Titan Aviation Leasing.
“We are
delighted to partner with mas as they scale their widebody cargo operations,
and we greatly appreciate the Airbus team’s professionalism and collaboration
throughout this transaction.” The Airbus A330-300P2F, developed in
collaboration with ST Engineering and Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW), offers a
payload capacity of up to 61 tonnes and a range of up to 3,650 nautical miles.
Its efficiency and versatility make it well-suited to support mas’ growing
regional and international cargo operations, particularly amid the ongoing
expansion of global e-commerce and trade.
“This
transaction highlights Titan’s ability to deliver innovative and flexible fleet
solutions that support the growth of our customers,” says Michael Steen, Chief
Executive Officer, Atlas Air Worldwide. “These aircraft will play an important
role in meeting rising global air cargo demand and further demonstrate the
scale and capabilities of our TAI 2 platform.”
“We have
been working closely with Airbus Financial Services, Rolls-Royce, and Titan to
make this arrangement a reality, and we look forward to working together with
the Titan team for many years to come,” says Robert van de Weg, CEO of mas. “We
have a strong belief that the A330-300P2F will continue to create value for our
customers and that they will be an essential part of our fleet going forward.”
“Airbus is
pleased to announce the successful closing of an A330-300P2F transaction with
Titan. The transaction is a result of a great team effort and highlights the
excellent relationship between Airbus, Titan, mas, and Rolls-Royce,” says
Francois Collet, Head of Trading and Structured Finance at Airbus.
“This deal
leverages Titan’s leasing and freight market expertise to support mas, an
important and growing Airbus customer, and underscores the shared commitment to
advancing the A330-300P2F programme and providing innovative solutions to the

From hangar to air: the changing landscape of engine
logistics
The global
aerospace logistics sector is witnessing unprecedented growth, fuelled by rapid
fleet expansion, technological advancements, and the increasing complexity of
modern aircraft engines. Boeing’s Commercial Market Outlook 2025–2044 projects
the active commercial fleet to reach nearly 50,000 aircraft by 2044, an
increase of 1.8 times compared to just over 27,000 aircraft in 2024.
The
freighter fleet is also set to expand significantly, growing by about 67% from
2,375 aircraft in 2024 to 3,975 by 2044. Similarly, Airbus’s Global Market
Forecast 2025–2044 anticipates demand for 43,420 new passenger and freighter
aircraft over the next two decades. In this context, the movement of aircraft
engines has become one of the most critical and demanding segments within
global air cargo operations.
Aircraft
engines represent far more than oversized cargo; they are high-value,
technically complex assets requiring precision handling, specialised
infrastructure, and expert coordination across global supply chains. A growing
market with rising stakes The numbers tell a compelling story.
Daniel
Nyman, Vice President Global Aerospace Product Manager at Kuehne+Nagel, a
leading global logistics provider with expertise in aerospace logistics, notes,
“Aerospace logistics is one of Kuehne+Nagel’s core verticals, supported by
nearly 300 dedicated aerospace professionals worldwide. Kuehne+Nagel manages
more than 4,000 aircraft engine movements every year. The types of engines we
handle vary by geography and airline.
For
example, in Europe, we primarily manage CFM56 engines, widely used on Boeing
737 and Airbus A320 aircraft; as well as LEAP engines, which power the Airbus
A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX. On a global scale, the most commonly handled engine
types include the CFM56, LEAP-1A/B, and Rolls-Royce Trent 700, 1000, and XWB.”
“Fleet
expansion creates a domino effect: more aircraft translate into more MRO
(Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) activities, and inevitably, more
Aircraft-on-Ground (AOG) emergencies,” explains Nyman. “This growth not only
increases demand for engines and spare parts but also highlights the need for
skilled professionals.” “Fleet expansion creates a domino effect: more aircraft
translate into more MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) activities, and
inevitably, more Aircraft-on-Ground (AOG) emergencies.”
Daniel
Nyman, Kuehne+Nagel These AOG emergencies represent situations where every
minute of downtime costs airlines significant revenue and operational
efficiency, making speed and reliability paramount in engine logistics
operations. In some cases, manufacturer-specific issues can also trigger major
AOG events. For instance, according to KPMG’s Aviation Leaders Report 2025: The
Supply Strain, issues with Pratt & Whitney’s GTF engines grounded nearly
650 aircraft in November 2024.
Spirit Airlines reported an average of 20 AOG events related to GTF engines during Q2 2024, while Wizz Air experienced 44 such events. Notably, Pratt & Whitney’s PW1000G family, also marketed as the GTF, powers aircraft such as the Airbus A220, the Airbus A320neo family, and the Embraer E-Jet E2.
Boeing
estimates that an AOG situation lasting 1–2 hours can cost an airline between
$10,000 and $20,000, and in some cases, costs may reach as high as $150,000.
The AOG
challenge: when every minute counts AOG scenarios represent the
highest-pressure situations in aerospace logistics. When an engine failure
grounds an aircraft, airlines face mounting costs from passenger disruption,
crew redeployment, and lost revenue. In these critical moments, logistics
providers must respond with ultra-fast coordination and execution.
“Aircraft
engines are often shipped under AOG (Aircraft On Ground) emergency conditions,
where every minute counts to minimise operational downtime. In these
high-pressure scenarios, Rhenus must respond with ultra-fast coordination and
execution to meet critical timelines and avoid costly delays,” says Moerowan
Al-Chaabi, Global Group Strategic Account Manager & Special Projects,
Rhenus Group, another major global logistics service provider with expertise in
aerospace logistics.
Suparna Airlines takes delivery of its first Boeing 777 freighter
Chinese
carrier Suparna Airlines, headquartered at Shanghai Pudong International
Airport, has marked a major milestone with the delivery of its first Boeing 777
freighter, registered B-227U (MSN 70288). According to Planespotters.net,
Suparna Airlines has one additional Boeing 777 freighter on order. The delivery
flight took place on September 24, when the aircraft departed Everett (PAE) at
11:48 hrs and landed in Nanjing (NKG) on September 25 at 14:54 hrs.
The flight
took about 12 hours and 6 minutes, according to Flightradar24. The carrier
currently operates three Boeing 747-400 freighters and 10 Boeing 737-800s. With
the new Boeing 777 freighter, its fleet has grown to 14 aircraft. Earlier today
(September 25), Reuters reported that this marks the first new-build Boeing 777
freighter delivered to a Chinese carrier since the onset of the U.S.–China
tariff war.
However,
Boeing’s latest orders and deliveries data, as of August 31, 2025, indicate
that Chinese companies, including Air China Cargo, China Southern Airlines, and
CES Leasing Corporation, a financial leasing arm of China Eastern Airlines,
have received multiple 777 freighters since February this year.
Air China
Cargo took delivery of two aircraft, one in February and another in June. China
Southern Airlines received two freighters in February and March, while CES
Leasing Corporation accepted four units in April, June, July, and August.
Established in 2002, Suparna Airlines is the only carrier under HNA Aviation
Group that operates both passenger and cargo services.
It began
as Yangtze River Express, a cargo-only airline based at Shanghai Pudong
Airport. In 2015, following the launch of passenger operations, it was
rebranded as Yangtze River Airlines before adopting its current name, Suparna
Airlines. Boeing confirmed the delivery through its official WeChat account.
Boeing
said nearly 60 777 freighters are already in service with six Chinese carriers.
Earlier this year, China had blocked Boeing deliveries in response to U.S.
tariffs, a restriction later eased after a temporary tariff truce between
Washington and Beijing.
On
Tuesday, a group of U.S. lawmakers visiting Beijing said they had discussed a
deal with top Chinese leaders that could see China commit to buying more Boeing
jets, Reuters reported. While according to a Bloomberg report, Boeing is in
talks to sell as many as 500 aircraft to China.
Magma Aviation adds new Boeing 747 freighter to fleet
Magma Aviation has announced the addition of a new Boeing 747 freighter aircraft to its fleet in the final quarter of 2025, highlighting the company’s continued expansion and long-term growth ambitions, according to an official release from Magma Aviation.
“With a
new B747F aircraft added to our fleet, this increases our overall capacity. It
will give us the ability not only to service current clients, but also allow us
to fly new routes and expand services that clients are looking for,” says Peter
Kerins, CEO of Magma Aviation. Magma Aviation has reaffirmed its strong
ambition to significantly expand its fleet in the coming years, emphasising
that the latest aircraft acquisition forms a key part of its long-term growth
strategy.
“Our
network performance in general is exceptionally high, and with the addition of
this aircraft, it will allow us to offer more services to customers with
absolute confidence in our service delivery,” adds Kerins. Magma Aviation has
experienced consistent growth over the past few years, with its global
expansion evident in the addition of new routes, a global team, and the
expansion of both its narrow-body and wide-body fleets.
The
introduction of new-generation freighter aircraft has brought greater energy
and operational efficiency to the market, yet the B747F continues to stand out
as one of the most formidable aircraft in the air cargo industry. With a
capacity of over 100 tonnes per flight, it provides Magma with a significant
advantage in transporting a wide range of sensitive and specialised cargo.
“In the
past, we have successfully transported outsized and specialised cargo loads,
anything from mining equipment to full-size helicopters, boats, and more. With
a new B747F aircraft in our fleet, this gives our team a great advantage to
diversify the products we offer,” says Kerins.
The
company’s growth plans extend beyond 2026, with a vision to triple its fleet
size by 2030 through a strategic mix of wide-body aircraft, including the B777F
and B747F. Magma can meet unique demands quickly without straining existing
fleet resources. Global clients will have more flexibility in scheduling and
will have easier access to markets that were previously underserved.
At the
same time, blue-chip companies from industries such as automotive,
pharmaceutical, and technology, which often move high-volume cargo, would
benefit from improved supply chain resilience, the release added. “Magma’s
operations team is the best in the business. All standard operating procedures
and service level agreements are in place.
Additionally,
all route planning, handling arrangements, and ULD provision are set, and with
the use of our own bespoke planning system, we have planned every step of the
introduction meticulously,” says Kerins when asked how the team prepared
internally for the introduction of the new aircraft and how it will impact
day-to-day operations.
Etihad Cargo launches Beyond Borders campaign
Etihad
Cargo, the cargo and logistics division of Etihad Airways, has unveiled its
first campaign under the airline’s new Beyond Borders brand platform. The
campaign brings the airline’s refreshed brand to life through a cargo lens,
celebrating the role of air freight in connecting people, communities, and
economies across the globe, according to an official release from Etihad Cargo.
“Every shipment tells a story.
It's never
just an address. It represents trust, care, and a connection that makes a real
difference in people’s lives,” says Stanislas Brun, Chief Cargo Officer, Etihad
Airways. “By adapting Beyond Borders for cargo, we are showing how freight is
more than the movement of goods – it is a vital force linking families,
sustaining businesses, and keeping global supply chains moving.”
Through
striking visuals and storytelling, the campaign humanises cargo, highlighting
how fresh produce, pharmaceuticals, luxury goods, live animals, and other
consignments are not just boxes in transit; they are lifelines that impact
daily life worldwide. The launch also reflects Etihad Cargo’s focus on
collaboration, with the campaign emphasising the strength of its partnerships
in ensuring resilient supply chains and timely solutions that transcend
borders.
Alongside
the campaign, Etihad Cargo will be launching its refreshed etihadcargo.com on
the 9th of October, aligning the digital platform with Etihad’s updated brand.
The new site offers a cleaner interface and enhanced features, including
simplified booking and tracking tools and the ability for customers to monitor
claims in real time, reflecting the airline’s ongoing focus on transparency and
efficiency.
Etihad
Cargo’s suite of specialised products, including PharmaLife, FreshForward,
SafeGuard, and SkyStables, continues to set benchmarks for speed, reliability,
and care while adhering to the highest international standards. The campaign
imagery also features air waybill details, subtly highlighting the carrier’s
global reach and operational precision, the release added With its first Beyond
Borders campaign and redesigned digital platform, Etihad Cargo demonstrates how
the airline’s new brand platform extends across the business, reaffirming its
role as an enabler of global trade and development, and taking goods, care, and
trust beyond borders.
Hong Kong air cargo hit hard by Typhoon Ragasa
Hong Kong
resumed flights from its international airport on September 25 after a 36-hour
suspension due to Super Typhoon Ragasa. However, operations had partially
restarted on the evening of September 24, with the first reported landing in
nearly 24 hours being a China Airlines Cargo Boeing 777 freighter.
In a press
release on September 24, the airport announced that as Typhoon Ragasa moves
away from Hong Kong, Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) will remain open
and operational, with the Airport Emergency Centre activated. However, due to
strong gusts and crosswinds, airlines will not operate passenger flights before
midnight for safety reasons.
Starting
from 0600 hrs on September 25, airlines will gradually resume services, with
all three runways operating simultaneously. The airport added that recovery
will take time as the Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) implements the Flight
Rescheduling Control System to manage post-storm operations.
Cathay
Cargo told The STAT Trade Times that it had suspended all freighter operations.
Meanwhile, Cathay Pacific announced in its travel advisory that it had
cancelled three long-haul departures from Hong Kong on the morning of September
23, CX383 to Zurich, CX880 to Los Angeles, and CX844 to New York–JFK.
Additionally,
several other flights scheduled to depart on the morning and afternoon of
September 23 were cancelled, along with all flights arriving at and departing
from Hong Kong between 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 23, and 6:00 a.m. on
Thursday, September 25.
On
September 25, Cathay Pacific announced that its long-haul passenger flights
from the Americas, Europe, and Australia had all arrived safely early in the
morning and were being prepared for same-day departures. However, the airline
cautioned that a full recovery would take time. Since 6:00 a.m., Hong Kong
International Airport has been operating its Flight Rescheduling Control System
(FRCS), which restricts arrivals and departures until the airport can safely
manage traffic volumes.
Under this
system, airlines must submit slot requests for departures. As the home carrier,
Cathay Pacific has around a third of this allocation, with restrictions
expected to ease gradually as capacity and operations are restored.
While the
airport has reopened following the world’s most powerful typhoon and operations
are gradually returning to normal, cargo activities at one of the world’s
busiest airports have been severely affected. The disruption to air cargo
operations became evident in the aftermath of the storm.
Tim van
Leeuwen, Vice President and Head of Consulting at Rotate, an air cargo
consultancy platform, said in a LinkedIn post that Typhoon Ragasa wreaked havoc
at the world’s busiest air cargo hub, affecting an estimated 26,000 tonnes of
air cargo.
According
to Rotate Live Capacity data, flight cancellations disrupted the equivalent of
160 Boeing 777 freighters operating into and out of the airport, requiring
substantial efforts by airlines worldwide to clear backlogs and adjust
schedules. “Fortunately, airport operations seem to be fully up and running
since the airport reopened this Thursday,” he said.
