AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoHormuz Logistics Update: A Malaysian-owned support vessel (Vantris Energy/Sapura Energy’s “Sapura 1200”) cleared the Strait of Hormuz and headed to Oman, marking the fourth Malaysia-linked transit since the US-Iran war disrupted the route—another sign shipping is getting permission-based and route-by-route, not fully open. Energy & Trade Pressure: India’s PM Modi used a UAE stop to push for an “open and safe” Hormuz and to deepen storage cooperation (including UAE crude storage and Fujairah-linked reserves), as Gulf disruptions keep oil and supply-chain costs elevated. UAE Bypass Moves: Abu Dhabi is fast-tracking a second West–East pipeline to Fujairah, aiming to double export capacity by 2027 to reduce reliance on the chokepoint. Regional Infrastructure: Lebanon launched a tender to rehabilitate the Tripoli–Abboudiyeh rail link to reconnect freight corridors. Investment Signals: Tanzania pitched $2.85B in projects and says lorry demand is rising to 15,000 units annually—logistics is becoming a headline growth bet.
