Middle East Shipping Disruption

Shipping routes are being affected after container lines halted transits through the Strait of Hormuz and diverted vessels away from the Suez Canal following escalating conflict in the region.

📦 Transit times are guides, not guarantees
Because of rollovers and reroutes, shipping times can change, so keep your plans flexible and build in extra time when organising your move overseas.

🌍 UK to Australia / New Zealand
Ships are sailing around Africa instead of Suez. Moves from the UK to Oceania are taking longer, so plan extra time into your move.

🚨 EU rule change = higher shipping costs (from Jan 2026)
If your shipment passes through an EU port, the new Emissions Trading System can add hundreds of US dollars to the freight cost, even if you booked last year.
