Political compromise seen as the key to a lasting Hormuz deal

What will determine if the Hormuz deal succeeds?

The results point to a clear conclusion. Readers believe that while security, economics and international backing all matter, the future of the agreement ultimately depends on political decisions.

Political compromise emerges as the decisive factor

More than half of participants identified Political Compromise as the most important element for the agreement’s success.

The result reflects an understanding that military operations may have eased, but the underlying disputes remain unresolved. Issues such as sanctions, Iran’s nuclear programme, regional influence and long term security guarantees continue to require negotiated solutions rather than military ones.

For many readers, lasting stability will depend less on events at sea and more on whether both sides can maintain meaningful diplomatic progress.

Security remains an important concern

A notable share of readers selected Regional Security.

Although the Strait of Hormuz is expected to remain open under the current framework, commercial shipping continues to operate in a region where tensions can escalate quickly. Any renewed military incident could undermine confidence and disrupt maritime trade once again.

The result suggests that readers continue to view security conditions as an essential foundation for stable shipping operations.

Economics cannot be ignored!

Many participants also highlighted Economic incentives.

Sanctions relief, access to frozen assets, energy exports and the restoration of commercial activity remain central to any long term settlement. Without tangible economic benefits for all parties, readers appear to believe that sustaining the agreement could become increasingly difficult.

The findings reinforce the close relationship between geopolitics and global trade.

International support plays a supporting role

The smallest share of readers chose International support.

While outside meditation has helped bring the parties closer to an agreement, readers appear to view external involvement as less decisive than direct negotiations between Washington and Tehran.

The results suggest that international partners can facilitate dialogue, but they cannot replace political commitment from the principal actors.

Diplomacy now carries the greatest weight

The poll indicates that the shipping industry is increasingly focused on diplomacy rather than conflict.

Months of disruption demonstrated how quickly geopolitical tensions can reshape maritime trade, energy markets, insurance costs and vessel routing. With a framework agreement now in place, readers appear to believe that the next phase will be determined primarily by political choices rather than military capability.

For shipowners, carriers, insurers and cargo interests, the durability of the agreement may ultimately depend on whether negotiations continue to deliver practical progress.

Conclusion

The results reveal a clear consensus; political compromise is viewed as the single most important factor in determining whether the Hormuz agreement can evolve into lasting stability

While security conditions, economic considerations and inter-national mediation remain important, readers believe that only sustained political dialogue can provide the certainty needed for global shipping and energy markets to fully regain confidence.

Largest container shipping companies at the end of H1 2026

The largest container shipping companies continued to dominate global liner shipping during the first half of 2026, while maintaining strong investment in fleet renewal despite geopolitical uncertainty and a changing regulatory landscape.

According to the latest fleet data from Alphaliner, the world’s top ten carriers accounted for a significant share of global container shipping capacity. At the same time, they continued to expand their orderbooks, reflecting long term confidence in global trade despite ongoing challenges such as tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, stricter environmental regulations and evolving supply chain dynamics.

The latest rankings also show that competition remains intense. While the leading positions have remained largely unchanged, differences in fleet expansion strategies, orderbook size and network development continue to shape the competitive landscape heading into the second half of 2026.

Largest Container Shipping Companies by Fleet Size

MSC strengthens its market leadership

The carrier now operates more than 7.3 Million TEUs, giving it a market share of 21.5%. It also holds a lead of more than 2.6 million TEUs over second-ranked Maersk. MSC remains the clear market leader.

The Swiss carrier continues to expand through both acquisitions and newbuilding deliveries. With 134 vessels on order, MSC is expected to maintain its leadership position for the foreseeable future.

Fleet renewal continues across the industry

The latest orderbook data shows that investment remains strong among the largest container shipping companies.

CMA CGM currently has the biggest orderbook, with 159 vessels under construction. COSCO follows with 138 ships, while MSC has 134, Evergreen and Hapag Lloyd also continue investing heavily in new tonnage.

Much of this new capacity is designated to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. LNG, methanol-ready and dual-fuel vessels are becoming increasingly common as carriers prepare for stricter environmental regulations.

These investments demonstrate that fleet renewal remains a long term strategic priority rather than a short-term response to market conditions.

Outlook for H2 2026.

The largest container shipping companies are expected to maintain their dominate positions during the second half of the year.

New vessel delivered will continue entering the market, while environmental regulations and geopolitical uncertainty are likely to remain key factors shaping carrier strategies.

For the industry’s leading operators, future competitiveness will depend not only on fleet size but also on efficient vessel deployment, schedule reliability and continued investment in next generation ships.

Iran Introduces 48-hour Advance Notice Rule for Strait Of Hormuz Transits

The Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA), which manages traffic through the strait, said only vessels that comply with the new requirements will be cleared for passage without delay. It also said ships must follow designated navigation routes and coordinate their timing before entering the waterway, citing safety concerns linked to mine-affected areas and the need to avoid collisions.  

The Strait of Hormuz carries around one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas trade, making any change in its operating rules closely watched by shipping companies, energy markets, and governments.     

Under the new system, ship operators must send complete transit requests through the PGSA’s official website or email channel. These requests must include valid vessel contact details and other required information.   The authority said requests must be submitted at least 48 hours before arriving at the strait to avoid delays.

It also said coordination of routes and scheduled passage times is mandatory due to safety risks in the area, including possible mine-affected zones. Shipowners will be responsible for any failure to follow the rules, the PGSA said.

Iran said no charges will be applied for a 60-day period under a memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States aimed at restoring safe navigation through the strait after months of disruption.

During this period, costs linked to security, safety, environmental services, and Iranian insurance will be covered by the Iranian government. No fees will be charged for registration or permits during this time.  

However, officials indicated that a fee system could be introduced after the 60-day period ends, leaving uncertainty about future costs for shipping companies.     

U.S. President Donald Trump has said shipping through the strait would remain open and “toll-free during the first 60 days and thereafter.” The White House has not yet responded to Iran’s comments suggesting charges may follow later.      The new rules come as the United States and Iran begin a 60-day negotiation period covering nuclear issues, sanctions relief, and regional security.

A planned signing ceremony in Switzerland was cancelled, but U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi are expected to hold initial talks, according to reports.

The agreement follows months of tension in the region, including military developments involving Israel and Lebanon. A ceasefire between the two countries came into effect recently, though reports of continued strikes were later disputed.       

Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is starting to recover after months of disruption. Data from marine intelligence firm AXSMarine showed 25 commercial vessels passed through the strait on Thursday,(18 June) the highest number since April.      

The strait remains a key global energy route, and even small changes in rules or security conditions can affect oil supply chains and shipping costs worldwide.

Strait of Hormuz ship transits – two routes, two sets of rules

Vessels in the Strait of Hormuz either transit via northern route which requires approval from Iran taking 48 hours or the freedom to sail at any time through the southern route in Omani waters, but with a possible threat of mines.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the US and Iran and a resulting 60-day ceasefire sees the Strait reopening but in a far from a unified manner with the international traffic separation scheme (TSS), believed to have been mined by Iran, remaining closed. On 19 June Iran moved to exert authority over the waterway issuing details of a system requiring owners to apply for a permit to transit with a waiting time of 48 hours.

The Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PSGA) stated: "No vessel is permitted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without a valid passage permit issued by the PGSA."

The permit mandates using the northern route just to the south of Iran’s Larak Island and the PGSA said use of alternative routes is strictly prohibited.

However, the on 20 June the Joint Maritime Information Centre (JMIC) issued new guidance for the southern route in Omani waters the allows for transit at any time.     

“Mariners are advised that they may transit the southern route day or night with their AIS on, radars radiating, running lights on, and normal use of VHF,” the notice said. Ship masters were strongly encouraged to communication and coordination with US NCAGS (Naval Cooperation and Guidance for Shipping), however, it is not mandatory to do so, and ships can transit the southern route without coordination.      

However commercial shipping was also warned of the presence of mines and to expect a naval presence undertaking mine clearance. “Mariners should also expect congestion through transit routes and potential VHF hailing from naval forces to support free flow,” the JMIC said.     

It leaves a confusing picture for shipowners and managers as transits over the Strait of Hormuz start to rise following the agreement between the US and Iran. A number of transits were shown on AIS from Pole Star Global late 19 June/early 20 June local time via the Iranian route.

These included the Indian-flagged VLCCs Desh Vibhor and Desh Viabhor, and a Chinese-flagged bulker Hai Tun Zhou.

India Becomes World’s Largest Ship-Recycling Nation, Achieves MIV 2030 Target Early

Ship recycling volumes in India increased sharply to 2.99 million gross tonnes (GT) in 2025, marking a nearly 60% rise from 1.86 million GT recorded in 2024. The achievement enables the country to surpass a key target under the Maritime India Vision (MIV) 2030 well ahead of schedule, establishing India as the world’s top ship-recycling destination.    

Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, said the milestone reflects the success of sustained policy reforms, industry participation and adherence to international environmental and safety standards.  

“India’s emergence as the world’s top ship recycling nation reflects the success of sustained policy reforms, industry efforts and adherence to international environmental and safety standards,” Sonowal said, adding that the achievement reinforces India’s position as a global hub for responsible and sustainable ship recycling.      

According to the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, India’s rise has been driven by a coordinated strategy focused on sustainability, regulatory reforms, infrastructure development and close collaboration with industry stakeholders.      

The ministry noted that strong future demand, growing compliance with international standards and continued government support are expected to further strengthen India’s leadership in ship recycling, while advancing the goals of the circular economy and sustainable maritime development.

Four Fertiliser Cargo Vessels Bound for India after Safe Strait of Hormuz Transit

According to the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilisers, the vessels are destined for Krishnapatnam, Kakinada, Paradeep and Mundra, where the cargoes will be discharged to strengthen buffer stocks and support ongoing agricultural demand.

The ministry said domestic fertiliser production has reached 133.12 lakh tonnes since March 1, while imports totalled 43.69 lakh tonnes during the same period.

In addition, India has secured 17.70 lakh tonnes of urea through its latest global procurement tender, taking total contracted supplies of urea and phosphatic and potassic (P&K) fertilisers for the Kharif season to more than 90 lakh tonnes.

Urea imports have been sourced from Oman, Malaysia, Vietnam, Georgia, Nigeria, Russia, Finland, Egypt, Algeria, Turkey and the Netherlands. Supplies of DAP and NPK fertilisers are being routed via the Red Sea from Russia, Morocco, Egypt, the United States, Jordan, South Korea, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia.

Fertilizer inventories remain significantly higher than a year ago. As of June 22, cumulative stocks stood at 196.08 lakh tons, compared with 168.67 lakh tons during the corresponding period in 2025. Urea stocks increased to 81.44 lakh tonnes from 69.21 lakh tons, while DAP inventories rose to 20.92 lakh tons from 16 lakh tons. NPK stocks reached 55.91 lakh tons, up from 46.13 lakh tons a year earlier.

Muriate of Potash (MoP) inventories climbed to 12.68 lakh tons from 10.68 lakh tons, while Single Super Phosphate (SSP) stocks eased marginally to 25.13 lakh tons from 26.65 lakh tons. Total fertilizer sales since March 1 stood at 153.4 lakh tons, surpassing the 140.2 lakh tons recorded during the same period last year.

Sales included 79.1 lakh tons of urea, 34.8 lakh tons of NPK fertilizers and 19.8 lakh tons of DAP.   The ministry said it continues to coordinate closely with state governments, distribution agencies and cooperative networks to ensure uninterrupted fertilizer availability and maintain supply stability across the country.

US Eases Iranian Oil Sanctions After Progress in Peace Talks, Hormuz Traffic Rebounds

The temporary licence, announced by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, will remain in effect until August 21 and permits Iranian oil exports to the United States as part of a memorandum of understanding signed between Washington and Tehran on June 17.

The waiver excludes transactions involving North Korea, Cuba and Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine. Bessent said the negotiations had made significant progress, citing Iran’s commitment to ensure free and open navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and to allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) into the country.

He described the discussions as productive and said several provisions of the agreement were already being implemented.  

The announcement came amid encouraging reports from mediators involved in talks held in Burgenstock, Switzerland. US Vice President JD Vance said negotiators had established a strong foundation for a final agreement and expressed confidence that discussions would continue despite recent public exchanges between President Donald Trump and Iranian officials.  

The sanctions relief triggered a sharp reaction in oil markets, with Brent crude prices falling more than 3.5% to around $77.7 per barrel as traders anticipated the return of additional Iranian supplies.      

While Washington has linked the negotiations to concerns over Iran’s nuclear programme and future international inspections, Tehran maintained that no new commitments regarding its nuclear activities were made during the latest round of talks. Iranian officials reiterated that the country’s nuclear program remains focused on civilian purposes.      Meanwhile, tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz showed signs of recovery.

Several LNG carriers and crude oil tankers transited the strategic waterway on Monday, reflecting improving confidence among ship operators. According to shipping services provider Clarksons, vessel movements remain below pre-conflict levels but the overall trend is positive.     

The development is expected to ease concerns over potential disruptions to global energy supplies and reduce pressure on oil markets that had been heightened by recent tensions in the Gulf region.

Hyderabad airport aerospace hub gains FTG facility

GMR Hyderabad Aviation SEZ has added Firan Technology Group’s (FTG) first India manufacturing facility to the GMR Aerospace & Industrial Park, expanding the airport’s aerospace and aviation ecosystem.

The investment strengthens Hyderabad Airport’s role as a growing centre for aerospace manufacturing and related supply chains. The facility will manufacture avionics and cockpit interface electronics for global aerospace and defence programmes, adding high-value production to the airport-led industrial hub.

FTG’s entry into India marks its fourth global manufacturing base after Canada, the United States, and China. Located within the airport’s integrated aerospace park, the unit joins a cluster of manufacturers, MRO providers, and technology companies operating from the SEZ.

The development reflects the increasing role of airport-linked industrial zones in supporting aerospace manufacturing, exports, and specialised logistics through integrated infrastructure and global connectivity.

Revised Heathrow expansion document stresses cargo growth opportunities

Expansion at Heathrow Airport will provide more cargo handling capacity to enable growth of airfreight volumes, stresses a UK government document.

The UK Department for Transport has published a proposed draft revision to the Airports National Policy Statement (NPS), known as the Heathrow Expansion National Policy Statement, the framework within which the planning decision on expansion at the airport is being made.

“Since 2010 Heathrow has consistently handled more than 1.5m tonnes of cargo annually, aside from years where the Covid-19 pandemic had a significant economic impact,” stated the document.

“While it has maintained this level, it has struggled to grow its cargo volumes despite robust demand for cargo in the South East of the UK, in part due to lack of cargo capacity at the site.

“Expansion at Heathrow therefore provides an opportunity to address constraints limiting the ability to grow and increase freight volumes further and to strengthen Heathrow’s role in connecting UK businesses to international markets.”

A new runway will be a key part of Heathrow’s expansion. In November, the government announced that it had decided to back the Heathrow Northwest Runway scheme by Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL).

The plans include a 3.5 km runway and building a tunnel under the development through which the M25 motorway will run.

This scheme “offered the most credible and deliverable option and would be the scheme to inform the Airports NPS review,” said the Heathrow Expansion National Policy Statement.

In January this year, Logistics UK welcomed Heathrow’s approval of funding to begin work on a planning application for the third runway.

Funding the planning application is an important initial step in securing planning approval by its 2029 target.

Heathrow moved 1.5m tonnes in 2025, up 0.8% year on year, as UK cargo surged 29.7% and North America rose 4.6%.

As well as HAL’s scheme for a new runway, the airport is also using a participatory stakeholder approach as it continues to redevelop its ‘Horseshoe’ cargo area and supports the rollout of the CCS-UK AIS (Advance Information System) portal for booking and monitoring trucks.

Emirates SkyCargo expands freighter network across Asia markets

Emirates SkyCargo has announced a strategic expansion of its freighter network across East and Southeast Asia, increasing flight frequencies and adding capacity in response to growing demand from manufacturers, exporters and e-commerce businesses across the region.

The air cargo carrier transported more than 439,000 tonnes of cargo on its freighter and passenger flights from 12 markets in East and Southeast Asia during FY25/26, marking an increase of around 5% compared with FY24/25.

The growth reflects rising demand from businesses seeking fast and secure access to markets across the Middle East, Africa, Europe and the Americas. Badr Abbas, Divisional Senior Vice President, Emirates SkyCargo, said East and Southeast Asia remain key manufacturing centres for the global economy, supporting production of high-tech goods, perishables and e-commerce shipments.

He said the additional freighter flights and expanded network would provide exporters with faster connectivity and greater flexibility to move cargo worldwide.

According to Abbas, Emirates SkyCargo offers more than 12,000 tonnes of weekly cargo capacity from the region through a combination of dedicated freighter services to 12 cities and passenger flights from 25 destinations. As part of the expansion, Emirates SkyCargo is doubling freighter capacity to Narita Airport in Tokyo, increasing services from one to two weekly flights.

The additional flight will support Japan’s manufacturing sectors, including automotive, electronics and pharmaceuticals. The carrier has also increased its operations in Hong Kong to 37 weekly freighter flights, providing greater flexibility for customers in the export-driven market.

In Central China, Emirates SkyCargo has expanded its presence with three weekly freighter flights from Zhengzhou, linking Henan province with Dubai and destinations across its global network.

In Singapore, the carrier has resumed freighter operations with a weekly service connecting Singapore to Dubai via Mumbai, creating an additional trade link across Asia. Emirates SkyCargo is also doubling its services to Taipei from one to two weekly freighter flights to support demand for the movement of high-tech electronic products.

The carrier continues to operate a weekly freighter service to Bangkok, supporting exports of technology products, perishables, fashion goods and other consumer products. In Vietnam, it maintains four weekly freighter flights to Hanoi, providing exporters with access to Dubai, the Middle East and other international markets.

Alongside its dedicated freighter operations, Emirates SkyCargo utilises cargo capacity on its wide-body passenger aircraft. The carrier currently offers cargo capacity on more than 320 passenger flights each week across East and Southeast Asia. The airline also provides specialised cargo solutions through its product portfolio.

These include Emirates Vulnerable for secure transport of high-value electronics, Emirates Fresh for perishables and fresh produce, Emirates Pharma for medicines, and Emirates Vital for clinical trials and bio-innovation materials.

Emirates SkyCargo is also participating in Air Cargo China 2026, being held from June 24 to 26, where customers can meet the airline’s team and learn more about its services.

Qatar Airways restores 85% network, names new executives

Qatar Airways Group has restored 85 percent of its pre-crisis network and announced two new executive appointments as it advances its next phase of growth with a stronger focus on operational excellence and customer experience.

The recovery milestone coincides with the launch of the airline's Summer 2026 schedule, which includes more than 140 daily departures from Doha to over 160 destinations worldwide.

The achievement fulfils the Group's commitment, made earlier this year during the peak of regional disruptions that significantly affected its operations, to restore 85 percent of its network by mid-June.

To support its long-term strategy, Qatar Airways Group has created two senior leadership roles aligned with three key priorities: enhancing the passenger experience across every stage of the journey, expanding both passenger and cargo operations through a modern fleet and the next generation of Qsuite, and investing in workforce development, leadership succession, and future-ready skills.

Both newly created executive positions will report directly to Group Chief Executive Officer Hamad Al-Khater. The newly created Chief Operating Officer (COO) role will oversee the Group's operational functions under a unified leadership structure, with a focus on enhancing accountability, operational performance and safety standards.

Abdulla Ali, a Qatari national, has been appointed to the position after serving as Senior Vice President of Ground Services. With extensive experience across airline, airport and network operations, he is expected to have a strong track record of delivering operational excellence and leading high-performing teams.

Calum Laming, a dual Irish and British national, has been appointed to the role of Chief Customer Officer (CCO). He most recently served as Chief Customer Officer at British Airways from 2022 until earlier this year and has previously held senior customer experience leadership positions at Etihad Airways and Air New Zealand.

He is expected to ensure consistency, service excellence and a seamless journey across every customer touchpoint. Hamad Al-Khater, Group Chief Executive Officer, said: "These appointments are about what comes next.

With Abdulla and Calum joining our leadership team, we will move faster, sharpen our focus on excellence, and put the customer at the heart of every decision we make.

They are also about our people, expanding our ability to develop talent and support the growth of our incredible teams.” Mr Ali and Mr Laming will officially take up their new roles on November 1, 2026.

UPS invests $48 million to expand global cold chain network 

UPS has announced a $48 million investment in 27 temperature-controlled freight cross-dock facilities across key markets in the United States, Europe, Asia and the Americas, expanding its healthcare logistics network as demand for temperature-sensitive medicines continues to rise.

The facilities are designed to support the movement of pharmaceutical products requiring strict temperature controls, including medicines transported at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius, 15 to 25 degrees Celsius and frozen conditions. UPS said the sites are optimised for rapid transfers and short-term storage between air and ground transportation while maintaining required temperature ranges throughout the process.

The investment comes as the global market for temperature-sensitive biologics continues to expand. Citing Growth Market Reports, UPS said the sector is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8.3% through 2033, reaching an estimated value of $39.1 billion.

The company said maintaining product integrity and safety throughout the supply chain is becoming increasingly important as healthcare manufacturers develop more advanced therapies.

“We have aligned our investments with our Healthcare customers’ specialised needs. “Our global cross-dock facilities strengthen our end-to-end cold-chain capabilities to ensure critical treatments are delivered safely and reliably to patients around the world,” said Kate Gutmann, EVP and President of International Healthcare and Supply Chain Solutions at UPS.

“This effort—and all of our work in healthcare logistics—extends from a deep understanding that we’re doing more than moving packages. We are helping patients access the medications and treatments they need.”

According to UPS, all 27 cross-dock facilities comply with the International Air Transport Association’s CEIV Pharma certification standards, which govern pharmaceutical handling and quality.

The company said the facilities are integrated into a single logistics network, reducing the need for transfers between multiple service providers and providing greater visibility and control over shipments.

ACS Time Critical executes a 20-flight, 65-tonne cargo move to the US

Air Charter Service (ACS) has completed a complex time-critical cargo movement involving nearly 65 tonnes of energy machinery from Shanghai, China, to the United States, using a Next Flight Out (NFO) solution comprising 20 scheduled flights instead of a dedicated charter operation.

The shipment was managed by ACS Time Critical, the company's specialist division for urgent cargo movements. The consignment was originally required to move from Shanghai to Nashville, Tennessee.

Following an assessment of both charter and scheduled service options, the company developed a multi-flight NFO solution designed to meet the customer's delivery deadline while reducing overall costs.

According to Robert Alleman, CEO of ACS Time Critical, the company evaluated a range of premium cargo services before determining the most suitable approach. “One of our customers came to us with 65 tonnes of machinery that they needed to get from Shanghai in China to Nashville, Tennessee.

In this situation, having a wide range of premium cargo services available to our clients proved beneficial, as we separately evaluated both charter and NFO options to determine the best choice for the customer.

Due to several factors, including the wait for all flight permits, we came up with a comprehensive 20-flight NFO solution.” Instead of routing the cargo directly to Nashville, ACS selected Chicago as the U.S. gateway for the shipment.

The company said the decision was based on the availability of more frequent flight connections and cargo handling infrastructure capable of processing the shipment more efficiently.

The revised routing also contributed to lower transportation costs while maintaining the required delivery schedule. Alleman explained the rationale behind the decision: “The solution involved going into Chicago rather than Nashville, which wasn’t much further away than its final destination.

This option was the logical choice, as it offered more frequent flights and better-suited handling capabilities – processing the cargo quicker – as well as making the whole operation more cost-effective.

We were able to find the customer an entire solution the same day as their enquiry – a total of 20 separate scheduled service departures, flying over the course of several days, with the first departing just a couple of days after confirmation.

To stay on top of all the departures and arrivals, especially at nighttime, we enlisted the help of our 24-hour operations team, along with ACS colleagues across the world in different time zones, and we had all hands on deck to get them all over the line.”
