AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoMaritime Security & Trade Disruption: Iran-aligned Houthis are weighing Red Sea transit fees after declaring a blockade on Saudi Arabia, while drones and missile strikes keep hitting shipping and fuel infrastructure, including a reported drone attack on a US-owned LNG-linked tanker at Egypt’s Damietta port—raising risks for global routes through Bab el-Mandeb and Hormuz. Ports, Terminals & Rail: ÖBB Rail Cargo Group launched a new Budapest–Belgrade rail connection to move containers (including dangerous goods) with fixed timetables, and Maersk rolled out an integrated cold-chain model that coordinates origin handling, ocean, port steps, fumigation, inland logistics and cold storage to reduce fumigation bottlenecks for regulated produce into the US. Warehousing & Fulfilment: Westons Cider opened a £3.5m distribution centre near its mill, doubling owned pallet capacity with semi-automation and shifting most forklifts to electric; UK heatwaves are also reshaping ecommerce stock and fulfilment planning. Business & Logistics Markets: Namibia Post said parcel growth can’t fully offset falling letters as it expands financial services; WiseTech Global shares jumped on a rebound after a governance-driven selloff; and AVS Global Ship Supply urged the industry to treat ship supply as a sustainability lever, not just logistics.
