Each piece starts from something that happened and reads it from the operations desk.
If Brent drops to $90, how much does your delivered barrel actually fall?
Set against Brent, Goldman's $20 shows why the benchmark now says less about what a delivered crude cargo costs, and who carries the gap.
Will week 44 cost one skipped call, or omissions week after week?
Drewry's rule of thumb for clearing a one-day port closure, and what it does to weekly strings that are already short of time.
Will these boxes go back to the coast empty, or full of Ukrainian grain?
The terminal is offering carriers a way to send import boxes back out full of Ukrainian grain, and that needs a depot CMA CGM has not announced.
What happens to your ships on passage if your port agent gets listed?
Why the port agent is the one party a shadow fleet cannot hide, and what Treasury's 20 November licences mean for calls already under way.
Who pays for ten days at anchor off Oman now?
When a Gulf producer sells crude delivered, it charters the tanker, and the contract term decides how much of the Hormuz risk goes with the ship.
Every loop still on the Cape has a switch to come. Which ones have a dated first transit?
Why each service switch puts a Cape ship and a Suez ship into the same European berth week, and how the carriers keep that overlap small.
When can a box from Hanoi to Hai Phong actually go by rail?
The two partners describe the $3.5 billion in different ways, and the terminals depend on a single-track line to Hai Phong that is running behind its own schedule.
How many days will the ship spend away from her service?
The trade press covered the partnership, and this covers the schedule arithmetic behind the job and the date that will show whether it worked.
Will APM Terminals run the quay, or just hold the shares?
Why Gemini's schedule at Salalah after 2028 depends on who plans the berths and whether the leased cranes stay, whoever holds the shares.
Will CMA CGM ships get a fixed weekly berth at Nador when it opens in 2027?
Neither company has published what the stake gives CMA CGM's ships at the berth, but the deal does settle who sits on the quay next door.
Plan on small 1,340 TEU, because on these loops the weight limit comes first.
What the two ships actually run on, what they lift at real cargo weights, and why their one electric feature depends on the ports.
Which line on your invoice comes down first?
Split into the lines a carrier bills, the rise since February is mostly transpacific base freight and a few hundred dollars of fuel. The war-risk charges sit on Gulf cargo, which the global index…
Only her bunker records will show how much of the loop runs on methanol.
Lorenzaccio's rotation, checked port by port against where methanol has actually been delivered this year.
Can an ocean carrier plan a rotation around ethanol in Singapore yet?
How big the stem was, what it proves about fuelling a deep-sea ship on ethanol, and what Singapore still has to write down before a carrier can plan on it.
What happens when the gas tractors left can no longer cover the busiest shift?
DP World's release covers emissions and maintenance, and this covers what it leaves out: where the charging time comes from when the berths are full.
Can DSV do in 20 months what Maersk spread over five years?
What RBC is waiting for, seen from the floor: one customer master, one transport system and about 120 fewer terminals, all moved while the pallets keep running.
Will your Manila box still make its mainline sailing at the hub?
Nansha keeps its weekly sailing on a Hapag-Lloyd ship, while Philippine cargo moves to feeders the carrier does not run, and the carrier loses control of the connection at the hub.
Will a bio-methane stem bought in Singapore count under FuelEU?
Bio-methane changes nothing on the ship or the bunker vessel, which leaves the certificate, and where it is accepted, as the part this agreement has to settle.
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is among the fund's investors.
Who owns what once the deal closes, and why a line calling Ho Chi Minh City or Valletta should see no change at the berth.
Can your largest ships get under the bridge to reach it?
What the permit changes for a liner network before 2030, and the bridge and channel outside it that decide which ships the new berths will take.
Going through Suez saves about $1m a round voyage, roughly what the war-risk cover costs.
The canal's transit count mixes rewritten rotations with single voyages carriers can pull back, and only the first gives shippers a schedule to plan against.
The route is open five to six months, so winter means more ships or a pause
What a fixed weekly day costs on a route that is open five to six months a year, worked out from the trial voyage's own numbers.
If you call at ECT Delta, 2028 to 2030 likely means tighter berth windows
Why Rotterdam gives up a working terminal before Omega is finished, who carries its ships in the meantime, and the one document that will show the project is real.
War premiums are up to 30 times their prewar level. Who still crosses the strait?
Why the mine-or-missile argument matters more to underwriters than to the routing decision, and which part of the Gulf container network is still carrying the risk.
Why does a small Aframax now cost as much per barrel as a VLCC?
The $80 million voyage is set by supertankers held for days in transfers off Oman, and the November fixtures show Asian buyers changing ship size as well as supplier.
Speeding up and skipping calls can't win back a delay that repeats every rotation.
Seven to ten months is long enough that the delay has to go into the plan, and the ships needed to put it there are scarce.
Hapag-Lloyd, CMA CGM and Maersk set different Southwest Africa surcharges
The charge follows the loading date, applies per TEU to every box type, and two rivals priced the same coast differently in the same week.
Will this plant get past the investment decision that stopped the last one?
What the plant changes for CMA CGM's dual-fuel fleet, which is mostly paperwork, and why the investment decision matters more than the 2029 start date.
Could you book a fixed weekly sailing through the Arctic yet?
The PanStar Acro made the Arctic passage, but the ice moved its arrival dates, and liner customers buy a fixed weekly day held all year.
Your inland cargo can miss its delivery date and the monthly TEU figure will never show it.
The port's own tables show that most of the margin over the old record was empty containers, and its daily operations report shows where the time is going.
Which of your shipments pay the 20% first, the exports or the boxes already at sea?
The fee is a percentage of the haulage price, announced on a Thursday for the following Monday. The reports leave out what it was before and which shipments the date catches.
Is this September's cargo already on the water, or a bet on the fourth quarter?
About 65% of ZIM's transpacific volume moves at spot rates. That is how a rate rise reaches its accounts within weeks, and a fall would travel the same way.
How much port time do you save when only part of the deck has guides?
HD Hyundai has published a gain in deck weight but no count of the guided bays. Here is what a port call looks like on a deck with two securing systems, and what a stowage desk needs answered before…
What happens on Asia to North Europe when the queues clear and that capacity comes back?
The percentage worked through one weekly string: days at anchor, ships needed, and the gaps and double sailings that pay for the difference.
The cranes are on the quay. The berth isn't built.
What the published crane ratings decide at the berth, and what London Gateway's last crane delivery says about the gap between a crane arriving and a ship using it.
Can AD Ports earn back 8.5 times earnings on leases with about ten years left?
What the completion notices left out: when the leases at Santos and Itaqui end, how the berths are shared, and who owns the railways that feed both terminals.
Is the canal routing meant to hold?
What the changeover does to a 13-ship rotation, from the shorter round voyage to the weeks when Cape and canal sailings reach Rotterdam together.
Will a new review finish before the merger agreement runs out on 17 February?
What a restarted review means for the networks, charters, systems and agencies that cannot be combined before closing, and the dates that now matter.
$1 million a day. Four in ten tankers on fixed hire.
The ₹2,000 crore figure is one quarter extrapolated. The company's own filing shows which ships earned that quarter, and what limits how much of the market the fleet keeps.
One route prices this week. The other prices next month.
The 11.1% fall on the Australian route is measured from the top of a one-week spike. Over the same three weeks, capesize earnings fell while the Brazilian rate rose.
Waiting times are falling
Typhoon closures in China have left ships about a week behind schedule, and a week-late ship on a weekly service arrives in the next ship's berth window.
A container line bought 10,000 warehouse jobs. The ships won't notice.
The trade press reported the price and the square footage. This follows the acquired work to the systems it will run on, and shows how little of it reaches the ships.
Weekly services a week delayed
What an average late arrival of more than seven days does to a weekly service, a berth window and the schedule sitting in the booking system.
Israel wants an independent carrier. So, who supplies the Far East ships?
What 16 ships, four weekly services and a separate IT system mean for the people who would have to run Israel's new carrier.
Ethanol, a methanol engine and a Gulf barge. It worked.
The stem used a supply path the same ship opened with methanol in March, and the release does not give the volume, the price or the fuel standard.
The $135m bet on how long Hormuz stays broken
Why fewer barrels out of the Gulf need more ships, and what a buyer of a 15-year-old tanker is betting on at September prices.
Europe’s biggest bulk terminal group just got a new majority owner... The price isn’t fixed yet.
Where the buyer sits in the Moller group, why the stake has been for sale since 2024, and what the deal changes for ships and cargo at Euroports' terminals.
What if the world’s biggest oil exporter starts paying part of your shipping bill?
The discount is Aramco paying part of its buyers' tanker bill through the price. It lands on a transfer anchorage off Oman that is already running at its limit.
Half a million TEU of LNG dual-fuel capacity is coming. Who has the bunker slots?
26 ships of one size, delivering three and four years out, and a hull that needs nothing new from any terminal Maersk already calls.
MSC's €10 billion order is unsigned. The yard is for sale.
Why the likely buyer is the yard's biggest customer, and why MSC's container operation will not feel it.
...but is this actually going to affect the freight?
One fixed rotor at the bow of an 8,700 TEU ship costs almost no cargo space, and that is exactly why it will say little about the harder question of fitting several.
What if the number everyone quotes is already a month behind the real cost?
A line-by-line read of what is actually on a Gulf container quote, and why the published average is measuring something else.
The Invisible Fire Risk: Why Thousands of Laptop Batteries Travel Undeclared
What the proposal actually asks for, why carrier screening systems cannot catch this cargo, and the first date any fix can bind.
What happens when the class calendar collides with six-figure earnings?
What Frontline's own dock schedule and ship sales show about maintenance when a VLCC is earning $152,700 a day.
More than four fifths of what inspectors find is placards, labels and the way cargo sits in the box.
What the deficiency mix says about where the failures are made, and why booking-side screening is aimed slightly to the left of them.
At what point does “more capacity” stop meaning more capacity?
Record capacity arrives in a month when almost none of it is spare, and that gap is where allocation, berth windows and forecast logic quietly come apart.
Six days late on a weekly string. Whose berth is that?
Sea-Intelligence's July figures are mostly a weather story at origin and a berth-window story everywhere else. The 44-point spread between the best and worst of the top 13 carriers is where proforma…
Most importers could not file this claim. Could you?
One container accrued $162,799 in rail storage. Here is what the complaint actually alleges about haulage conversion and cargo-release leverage, and which of your own records would survive the same…
The Panama slot now belongs to the service, not the ship.
Sixty-three weekly reservation slots against nine daily transits is not a coincidence, and the loosened rules are what make an all-reserved lane survivable for a liner service.
If a reactor quarantines your berth, who pays for the boxes?
The Otto Hahn ran 650,000 miles and got into 33 ports, most of them exactly once. What the Pink Corridor has to produce is a P&I rulebook change, a harbour emergency plan annex and a bill of lading…
