Shipping Turmoil Remains Largely Contained To Gulf, For Now
The world's most critical maritime energy chokepoint has now been closed for 12 weeks, leaving seaborne energy supply chains heavily disrupted. Still, one UBS analyst points out that the shock has yet to meaningfully spill over into broader global shipping outside the Gulf area, suggesting the disruption remains largely contained for now.
"It looks like non-energy related global shipping traffic is running just 4% below normal in May - a bit better than April," UBS analyst Arend Kapteyn wrote in a note to clients Thursday morning titled "The State Of Global Shipping Disruption."
Kapteyn continued:
Limited signs of spillovers to non-energy shipping (so far)
In our April 30 note, we showed how global oil/gas shipping traffic had fallen by 13% from pre-Middle East conflict levels—closely matching the disruption through the Strait of Hormuz—and how the various regions were trying to reroute ships to find alternat...

American Freight Revival Enters Next Phase As Illegal Alien Trucker Chaos Continues
Submitted by American Truckers United,
In a unanimous landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act (FAAAA) does not protect freight brokers from state-law negligence claims when they carelessly hire unsafe motor carriers.

Fliegen soll günstiger werden: Bundesregierung macht Erhöhung der Ticketsteuer rückgängig (N-TV)
|
|
|
Mit der Senkung der Ticketsteuer wird das Reisen mit dem Flugzeug bald wieder günstiger - eigentlich. Denn durch den Iran-Krieg steigen die Preise. Der Effekt könnte sich somit am Ende in Grenzen halten... --- Konkret soll die Abgabe für die Kurzstrecke um 2,50 Euro, auf der Mittelstrecke um 6,33 Euro und bei Fernflügen um 11,40 Euro reduziert werden. Das Finanzministerium hat die Fluggesellschaften aufgefordert, die Senkungen an die Reisenden weiterzugeben. Die Unternehmen leiden aber gerade unter den sprunghaft gestiegenen Kerosinpreisen..

Dubai's Shipping Hub Status Under Pressure As Some Industry Veterans Eye Greece
Via Middle East Eye
Some shipping industry workers based in Dubai are looking to relocate from the UAE as a result of the US-Israeli war on Iran, one ship-owner and two industry sources familiar with the matter told Middle East Eye.
Western expats working in the maritime industry are eyeing the Greek capital, Athens , and Cyprus as potential alternatives to Dubai, given those countries' dominant positions in shipping and the favorable tax policies they offer the industry, the sources said.
via AFP
The search for alternatives to Dubai underscores how some expats, particularly westerners with easy access to Europe, do not expect the Gulf to return to its pre-war position anytime soon.
Around 2,000 vessels are trapped in the Gulf as a result of competing US and Iranian blockades of the waterway. But the shipping industry is experiencing a boom as a result of the war. The lockdown of vessels has compressed suppl...
