Methodology
Our signals and indicators are built on a rigorous quantitative framework. We apply advanced mathematical and statistical models — including queuing theory, linear and logarithmic regressions, and multivariate predictive models — trained on historical trade, freight, and maritime data. Each signal is validated through causal chain analysis and stress-tested across geopolitical and macroeconomic scenarios to ensure decision-grade reliability.

Data Sources
● All data used is publicly available
We do not use proprietary or commercially licensed data feeds. All underlying data is sourced from public international bodies, open maritime databases, and published government statistics — then processed, aggregated and modelled by our analytical team.

Transit Index
-89%
7-day avg vs. 85.5/day 2025 average
AIS undercounts: many ships cross with transponders off. UKMTO logged 254 transits in the 7 days to 16 Oct (about 36 a day; Al Jazeera), and Kpler put oil flows at 68% of pre-war.
Maersk: Dammam and Jubail suspended, Jeddah and King Abdullah Port for local consignees only, $1,000/container Hormuz fee. Maersk and Hapag‑Lloyd relaunch FM1 to Khor Fakkan from 17 Oct; all three alliances are returning to Suez.

Key Takeaways
What changed?
Transit is −89% against the 85.5/day 2025 average (7-day avg ~10/day AIS-verified, latest 10 on latest), and — against the 2023 mean, after Iran re-declared the Strait closed on Jul 21; Maersk has suspended Dammam and Jubail calls (update 51, 7 Oct).
Why it matters?
War-risk cover is 6–10% of hull value (brokers, 14 Oct; about 0.25% before the war) and Brent is $126.55 (U.S. EIA Brent spot, 14 Oct), +79% vs. the $71 pre-war level (Feb 2026 average).
Decision relevance
Review Maersk's $1,000/container Hormuz fee and booking restrictions, landbridge options through Oman and Saudi Arabia, Sohar / Khor Fakkan gateways and war-risk cover for Gulf calls.

War-risk halved from ~5% after the Jun MoU, then re-escalated to 7.5–10% (S&P Global, 23 Jul); brokers quoted 6–10% in mid-October as attacks peaked (Insurance Business, 14 Oct). ENOC cites up to 10% of cargo value plus 5–6% cargo cover (Reuters, 9 Sep).

RESTRICTED
Gulf: Dammam and Jubail suspended; Jeddah and King Abdullah Port open for local consignees only; some Khor Fakkan cargo moved to Jebel Ali on feeders through Hormuz (update 51, 7 Oct). FM1 Asia–Khor Fakkan relaunched with Hapag‑Lloyd, first sailing Qingdao 17 Oct. Red Sea / Suez: AE15, AE19, AE11, AE5 and ME2 on Suez; AE12 has no first sailing date yet.
Hormuz: Jebel Ali ad-hoc calls only; AGX resumes 18 Oct with a Khor Fakkan call (Hapag‑Lloyd operations update, as reported); FM1 relaunched jointly with Maersk. Red Sea / Suez: same Gemini services as Maersk.
TDS, PSS and ECS surcharges remain in force

No October Gulf advisory found. A September industry summary has a limited number of MSC East–West services back on Suez; the July suspension of Hormuz calls is its last announced Gulf position.

MarineTraffic live AIS · AIS transits 15/day (latest) vs 33.5/day 2025 averagelive
Key Takeaways
What changed?
The Houthis declared a naval blockade of Saudi Arabia on Jul 20; transits now average 27/day (7-day, to latest), −27% vs. the 33.5/day 2025 average, and — against the 2023 mean; 4 VLCCs (3.8M bbl) were turned back on Jul 22 and the Houthis launched a coastal offensive on Sep 3.
Why it matters?
Yanbu handles ~92% of Saudi seaborne crude exports and was struck on Jul 25, so Saudi crude now faces a Hormuz closure to the east and a Bab al-Mandeb blockade to the west; Cape diversions add ~14 days; Houthi strikes on Abha, Jizan, Najran and Khamis Mushait on Sep 8 wounded 73.
Decision relevance
Reassess Red Sea calls at Jeddah and Yanbu, price Cape / Suez–Med routing for EU–Jeddah cargo, and review war-risk cover (Reuters, 23 Jul: 1–3% of hull value in the southern Red Sea, up to 3% for Saudi port calls and Saudi-linked tonnage, ~0.1% at Jeddah and Yanbu) and the Gemini services now returning to Suez.

Brent $126.55/bbl (U.S. EIA Brent spot, 14 Oct), +79% vs. the $71 pre‑war level (Feb 2026 average). Southern Red Sea premiums rose above 1% of hull value (from 0.75%, and 0.3% before the blockade), with quotes as high as 3% for ships calling Saudi ports or Saudi-linked tonnage; Jeddah and Yanbu stay near 0.1% (Reuters, 23 Jul). Hormuz remains higher at 7.5–10%. The Sep 3–11 escalation has not yet been re-priced in a published source.

MarineTraffic live AIS · AIS transits 26/day (latest) vs 38.5/day 2025 averagelive
Key Takeaways
What changed?
The canal is open and transits average 38/day (7-day to latest): −43% vs. the 2023 average of 74/day but +0% vs. the 2025 average (38.5/day); Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd are moving four more Gemini services to Suez from Sep 19.
Why it matters?
SCA revenue was $567M in August 2026 (1,358 vessels) and $1.26B in Q2, recovering from the 2024–25 lows but still below the 2023 peak. Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd moved four more Gemini services from the Cape to the Red Sea from 19 Sep, a return explicitly conditional on Red Sea stability; the last reported Houthi strike on a Saudi-linked ship was on 24 Aug, west of Yanbu.
Decision relevance
Treat Suez as open with reduced but stable traffic: plan Asia–Europe cargo on Suez only with carriers that have announced the switch, and keep Cape routing as the fallback if Red Sea security deteriorates.

What changed?
On 14 Oct, Freightos marketplace quotes put Shanghai→Jebel Ali at a median $8,312/FEU and Shanghai→Jeddah at $11,623, with 60–78‑day transits on the cheapest offers. Drewry’s Shanghai–Jebel Ali index stood at $8,416 on 15 Oct, and Xeneta had China–Jeddah at $10,870 on 10 Sep, up 256% since 28 Feb.
Why it matters?
Cape routing adds about 27 days to an Asia–Europe round voyage and roughly $1M in cost before war-risk cover (Drewry, 8 Oct). Gulf cargo pays on top for Hormuz fees, feeders and the landbridge legs.
Decision relevance
Maersk serves Jeddah and King Abdullah Port for local consignees only and has suspended Dammam and Jubail (update 51, 7 Oct). Review booking flexibility and the Khor Fakkan, Sohar and landbridge options.
