UAE Strongly Condemns Targeting of ADNOC National Carrier While Transiting Strait of Hormuz

[Aashish Aryan @cubscribe]

Hate crime doesn't necessarily manifest itself in beating up someone or calling them racial names. It is the small things. One tends to ignore such things until they can't be ignored anymore.

TLDR: This is the 5th time someone has deflated my car tyres in Rohtak.

THE MOST IMPORTANT WORDS FOR THE OIL MARKETS.

Iranian FM Araghchi:

“For a period of two weeks, safe passage via the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran’s Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations”.

— Ships will need to coordinate with IRGC. This is NOT resumption of free, unfettered passage

— They may have to pay a transit fee (I expect details to emerge in the coming hours and days)

— Note the “technical limitations” Araghchi is referring to. Are these limitations on how quickly the IRGC can process safe passage? In that case, bear in mind that the exit of the thousands of vessels stuck inside the Persian Gulf through the course of the war will likely be given priority.

— Two weeks is too small a window to expect normalisation of flows. Unless this truce leads smoothly to a deal (highly unlikely, given the chasm between the US and Iranian demands) or is further extended (more likely), the 2-week period will be almost meaningless in providing market relief.

— Israel needs to be on board with the ceasefire. Or even the 2-week reopening will be in jeopardy

IN SHORT, THIS IS A HIGHLY CONDITIONAL, LIMITED PERIOD ARDUOUS TREK TOWARDS NORMALCY.

The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is creating new uncertainty for global container flows.

As tensions escalate in the Middle East, some container vessels are waiting, diverting, or delaying transit through one of the world’s most critical shipping chokepoints. For shippers, forwarders, and supply chain teams, the key question is no longer if disruption will impact routes, but which vessels and services are affected right now.

We analysed vessel movements to identify which containerships are currently trapped, waiting, or diverting in the Strait of Hormuz.
Understanding these movements is critical to anticipate downstream delays, port congestion, and supply chain ripple effects.

[Amena Bakr @Amena__Bakr]

Just to clarify something based on recent exchanges I’ve had with shipping agents: insurance companies are still providing cover to vessels crossing the Strait of Hormuz, at a cost that can still be absorbed by the market under these circumstances. The real deterrent for vessel owners right now is the huge fear of an attack. Only a complete and sustained ceasefire will bring traffic back to normal. #OOTT #Iran

For anyone who thought the Indigo airlines mess was over: Wife's Goa flight scheduled for 11:10 AM. Pushed to 12:30, then 2, 3, finally 4:40 PM. Ground staff has smartened: Sir woh FDTL norms ki wajah se crew nahi hai.

India supplies 40% of the world’s rice. Its aquifers are running dry.
Reuters finds subsidies and booming exports are draining groundwater in Punjab and Haryana, forcing farmers to drill ever deeper.

Hi @dtptraffic I too witnessed this. Care to clear the air on ghis? Did not see any fire, so why are fire sirens blaring ?

[Raj Kumar Yadav @RajYaadaav]

🚨 Pollution level so high that the fire siren started blaring inside the tunnel at Dwarka Xway, Yashobhoomi!
When air bcmes this toxic, it’s not just a warning-it’s an emergency.
We need action, not just awareness. 🌫️😷
