The situation around the Strait of Hormuz remains unchanged and continues to cause significant disruptions in both sea and air freight. Closures and limited access to ports and airports in the region are leading to global capacity pressure, delays, and an imbalance in container availability. Various surcharges, including an Emergency Bunker Surcharge, remain in effect.
Air Freight
Air freight rates remain volatile due to limited capacity and uncertainty. Airlines are increasing fuel and war risk surcharges, which may also apply to already booked shipments. Key routes between Europe and Asia continue to be disrupted.
Sea Freight
Shipping lines are diverting to alternative routes, placing additional pressure on ports and sailing schedules. Container rates continue to rise, and fuel prices are also increasing further.
We continue to closely monitor your shipments and will proactively keep you informed of developments. If you have any questions or specific shipments that require extra attention, please do not hesitate to contact us.
