Stockwells Urgent News Alert
Major military action in the Middle East over the weekend has led to significant disruption across global aviation, air cargo, and containerised shipping networks. These events are already affecting international supply chains, with flow‑on impacts expected for Australian importers and exporters.
Australia will be affected by these global disruptions.
- Air Freight: Reduced capacity and schedule instability may impact time‑critical and high‑value shipments.
- Sea Freight: Longer routings, port congestion and equipment shortages may affect transit times and schedule reliability.
- Costs: Higher fuel prices, war‑risk surcharges and emergency conflict fees are likely to increase freight costs across multiple trade lanes—even for cargo not destined for the Middle East.
