What we're tracking today

TODAY: Iraq and UK set to sign GBP 12.3 bn export package

Good morning, nice people. We have a slew of updates to get through this morning, leading with a major exports agreement between Iraq and the UK along with a raft of investment updates from Egypt and the UAE. Let’s dive right in.

WATCH THIS SPACE-

#1- Trucking costs in KSA and the UAE are set to rise sharply on the back of a two-year old ban on vehicles older than 20 years, Gulf News reports. Since the ban came into effect in 2023, shippers either did not upgrade their fleet in time or don’t have enough trucks available to carry the level of loads required via road. Saudi businesses and consumers may bear additional costs with the impact of implementation appearing in a truck shortage.

In numbers: The Kingdom is now facing a surge in truck rates, reaching AED 8k to AED 9k, up from the previous AED 4k to AED 6k. “Shipping companies will pass increased costs to clients, potentially hiking freight charges. This will likely increase consumer goods pricing due to rising transportation and production expenses,” VP of Freight Forwarding Rosh Manoli told the news outlet.

#2- Russia + Iran to sign comprehensive strategic agreement: Russia and Iran are set to ink a comprehensive strategic partnership pact following a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on 17 January, Reuters reports, citing a Kremlin statement. The two leaders will also discuss boosting ties in trade, investment, and transport and logistics.

Projects in the works: Iran and Russia inked a EUR 1.6 bn agreement in May 2023 to build the Rasht-Astara railway to complete the International North-South Transport Corridor.

#3- Morocco to regulate natural gas sector: Morocco has drafted a law to regulate the import, storage, transportation, distribution, and supply of natural gas, Al3omk reports. The law, which will apply to stakeholders, gas supply companies, and network operators, is yet to be submitted to the government for approval.

What we know: The draft law includes several provisions designed to regulate the sector in response to price fluctuations and supply-demand instability in the global energy market, as well as the growing local demand for energy. Financial penalties will be issued against gas suppliers, individuals, or entities involved in importing, transporting, distributing, or storing natural gas without a license.

#4- KSA’s budget carrier Flyadeal is gearing up to finalize its order of 10 Airbus A330neo jets in its first major expansion, with the first delivery likely in 2027, Reuters reports, citing industry sources as saying. The Saudia subsidiary will likely unveil the order for the upgraded A330-900 variant within the coming weeks after comparing it with Boeing’s smaller 787-9, the sources said.

#5- Turkey’s Pasifik Holding is planning to increase its investments in port and terminal operations, Reuters reports, citing comments made by Chairman Fatih Erdogan at a press conference. The company is also mulling listing 20% of its shares on the Borsa Istanbul in 1Q 2025.

About the company: Pasifik Holding is a conglomerate of 55 companies active in the sectors of international logistics, real estate, energy, and technology. The company’s logistics arm Pasifik Eurasia is active in railway, air, and sea cargo transportation, as well as terminal services.

MARKET WATCH-

#1- Oil prices remained steady in early morning trading after a decline yesterday on the back of falling US crude stockpiles and expected supply disruptions, Reuters reports. Brent crude futures were up USD 0.02 at USD 79.94 a barrel by GMT 02.05, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) gained USD 0.12 to USD 77.62 a barrel. Both benchmarks lost 1.4% and 1.6% respectively yesterday after the US Energy Information Administration said oil will face the pressure of supply outpacing demand for the next two years.

#2- Baltic index snaps winning streak: The Baltic Exchange’s dry bulk sea freight index — which tracks rates for the capesize, panamax, and supramax vessel segments — fell 13 points to 1,080 on Tuesday. The capesize index dipped 11 points to 1,604, while the panamax index decreased 20 points to 906. The smaller supramax index shed 11 points to 798.

#4- Oil freight rates jump as refiners scramble for alternatives to Russian supply: Oil shipping charges have risen drastically as Chinese and Indian refiners seek alternatives to sanctioned Russian tankers, Reuters reports. The rate for the Middle East-China route rose 39% since Friday to USD 37.8k, the highest it’s been since October 2024, according to shipbrokers. Rates for a Russia-China route more than doubled to USD 3.5 mn, according to S&P Global Commodity Insights data.

The role of Russia’s shadow fleet: New vessels are expected to now join Russia’s shadow fleet, straining the supply of ships available in the non-sanctioned market, according to market intelligence firm Kpler. After the US’ latest move against Russia, 35% of the 669 dark fleet tankers shipping Russian, Venezuelan, and Iranian oil are now sanctioned, according to analysis by Lloyd’s List Intelligence.

DATA POINTS-

#1- Jordan’s Aqaba port saw a decline in the total number of containers despite experiencing increased activity during the second half of 2024, Petra reports. Arriving and departing containers declined 4% and 13% y-o-y, respectively, despite major monthly increases at the end of 2024. The drop is being blamed on regional conditions, unstable Red Sea maritime traffic, and Israel’s genocide in Palestine, Jordan’s Logistics Association President Nabil Khatib said.

#2- The Saudi Port Authority (Mawani) inaugurated eight logistics zones and centers in 2024, with an investment cost north of SAR 2.9 bn, according to a post on X. Among the logistics projects are collaborations at Jeddah Islamic Port with Maersk at SAR 1.3 bn, Medlog at SAR 175 mn, and DP World at SAR 900 mn.

Iraq and UK set to sign GBP 12.3 bn export package

Iraq is set to sign a GBP 12.3 bn (c. USD 15 bn) export package agreement with the UK in a bid to boost trade between both countries, according to a statement. The value of the agreement — which is assisted by UK Export Finance — is 10x higher than the current value of trade between the UK and Iraq in 2024.

What we know so far: The package includes a series of export agreements between the two countries, including the export of GBP 66.5 mn worth of equipment from the UK to strengthen Iraq’s border security. The package also offers several avenues for expansions for British business.

Bolstering trade: The total trade between Iraq and the UK amounted to GBP 1.1 bn in 2024, a 3.4% y-o-y increase, according to a separate statement (pdf). The UK’s total exports to Iraq were up 6.4% y-o-y, reaching GBP 866 mn in 2024, while Iraq’s exports to the UK saw a 5.7% y-o-y decrease to GBP 246 mn during the same period. Iraq was the UK’s 87th biggest trading partner, amounting for 0.1% of total UK trade in 2024.

Bahrain Airport Company secures funding for new Express Cargo Village

BAC secures funding for its Express Cargo Village at BIA: Bahrain International Airport (BIA) operator Bahrain Airport Company (BAC) has inked an undisclosed 15-year loan agreement with the Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait (BBK) for the construction and development of the airport’s new Express Cargo Village, according to a statement.

Details: The project — launched in 2021 — looks to bolster BIA’s logistics handling capabilities and is expected to process some 1.3 mn tons of cargo annually, up from the current 360k tons. Phase one of the project, covering 12.5k sqm, is fully occupied and has attracted foreign players including FedEx. Phase two, which is still under development, is slated to add another 52k sqm.

REMEMBER- BAC launched a tender in November for the second phase of the Express Cargo Village at Bahrain International Airport (BAH), which will be 3x larger than the first phase. The firm is looking to upgrade several parts of the airfield, including giving the runway a facelift from ICAO Category 2 to Category 3.

BAC is making moves: BAC inked a number of agreements the same month with key logistics players, including DHL, Ryanair, Ajex and Asia Cargo, at the Bahrain International Airshow in a bid to boost facilities and services at Bahrain International Airport (BAH).

And that’s not all: BAC announced the same month that it has allotted space for future airport development plans. Netherlands Airport Consultants carried out a USD 1.4 mn study to identify the site of the new airport, which is set to be located on reclaimed land in northwestern Bahrain, Binfalah said.

Egypt ramps up its textile exports industry with a new Chinese textile factory

More textile exports for Egypt: Chinese textile manufacturer Kingdom Holdings has inked an agreement with Egypt’s Elsewedy Industrial Development to develop a USD 60 mn textiles factory in the Industrial Sadat zone in Sadat City, according to a statement (pdf). An agreement supported by The Egyptian Commercial Services and the General Authority for Investment and Freezones will see the factory declared a private freezone.

All eyes on exports: “This initiative aligns perfectly with the Egyptian government’s vision to double textile and garment exports by 2026, strengthening Egypt’s position as an attractive investment destination,” Elsewedy Industrial Development CEO Mohamed Al Kammah said.

The factory will kick off production in 2026, with an annual production capacity of 5k tons, and is expected to create 1.5k local jobs.

Chinese textile manufacturers have increasingly been turning to Egypt to set up shop, with the world’s largest producer of dyed fabrics and shirts Luthai Textile eyeing a USD 385 factory and Jiangsu Lianfa Textile also looking to set up a USD 500 mn integrated complex for textile and ready-made garment production.

Aramco and DHL joint venture Asmo launch new warehouse in Riyadh

Saudi oil giant Aramco and DHL’s JV Advanced Supply Management Operations (Asmo) has launched operations at its new warehouse in Riyadh, according to a statement. The warehouse is the first in a wide range of logistics networks across six facilities in the Kingdom.

Asmo + Aramco have also inked a 15-year procurement and logistics hub services agreement, the statement notes. Under the agreement, Asmo will provide integrated end-to-end supply chain services, including procurement, demand projections, inventory management, logistics services, warehousing, and the development of logistics hubs.

About Asmo: Aramco and DHL formed Asmo in February last year. The partnership leverages Aramco’s procurement expertise and DHL’s network to boost supply chain efficiencies and lower procurement costs by integrating robotics, AI, and blockchain technology into supply chain management.

Asmo’s been busy: France-based Vallourec signed an MoU with Asmo in October to provide a wide range of end-to-end supply chain services. The services include sourcing, procurement, inventory management, logistics, and warehousing.

Navigating cargo flow amid global political tensions

In an era where global political tensions are reshaping the trade landscape, the Middle East faces unique challenges and opportunities in maintaining cargo flow. From conflicts and sanctions to shifting alliances, the ripple effects on shipping are profound. Here’s how the industry can stay ahead in these turbulent times.

Staying updated is non-negotiable. Advanced tracking tools and predictive analytics enable companies to anticipate disruptions and adapt swiftly. Take the East Mediterranean: as the Syrian conflict edges towards resolution, infrastructure rebuilding will create a surge in demand for shipping services, driven by European investments. A similar story may unfold in Libya, Algeria, and even Ukraine as these regions stabilize, opening avenues for reconstruction-driven cargo flow.

Political hotspots demand flexible logistics. Diversifying routes — whether through alternative ports or transport modes — can mitigate risks tied to single pathways. For instance, incorporating local fleets and subcontractors in high-risk areas provides adaptability, ensuring smooth operations even during unforeseen disruptions. Equally crucial is diversifying supplier and customer bases to reduce over-reliance on any one entity, shielding businesses from trade restrictions or embargoes.

In times of geopolitical volatility, partnerships are pivotal. Collaborating with governments provides insight into emerging regulations and potential barriers. Meanwhile, teaming up with industry peers fosters information-sharing and resource pooling, enhancing preparedness. Open dialogue with customers is equally critical, helping tailor risk mitigation strategies to their needs while building long-term trust.

Digital transformation is the backbone of modern shipping. Leveraging technology streamlines operations, improves efficiency, and enhances supply chain visibility. Additionally, fostering a culture of agility, where employees can act quickly and decisively, ensures resilience in rapidly changing circumstances.

Comprehensive ins. and robust risk management frameworks are indispensable. They cushion financial impacts from political risks or natural disasters, enabling businesses to recover swiftly.

By embracing adaptability, innovation, and collaboration, the shipping industry can weather political turbulence while seizing growth. The Middle East, with its strategic position and untapped potential in post-conflict regions, stands poised to become a central hub for global trade in this shifting world.

UAE inks 15 investment and trade agreements with four countries

The UAE is on a trade + investments streak: The UAE has been on a trade and investments roll this week, inking over a dozen of big and small agreements with Uzbekistan, New Zealand, Malaysia, and Kenya. The raft of agreements include three Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPAs), and at least 15 various agreements and contracts across the logistics, trade, and renewable energy sectors.

#1- UAE and Uzbekistan inked at least 15 investment agreements and contracts, covering the logistics, transportation, energy, infrastructure, healthcare, and agricultural sectors, according to a statement. Some agreements included involvement from Abu Dhabi port operator AD Ports, but no further details were disclosed.

AD Ports and Uzbekistan have history: The Emirati port operator established presence in the landlocked country through ADL-Ulanish, a JV founded in 2023 with SEG Enara Group. The JV focuses on building dry ports and container yards, and specializes in engineering logistics services, multimodal transportation, warehouses, and customs clearance. Last year, AD Ports was reportedly in talks with Uzbekistan to establish a logistics center in the Tashkent region.

DP Ports also has eyes on Uzbekistan: Dubai-based port operator DP World inked an MoU last September with Uzbekistan to develop freezones and logistics centers in the country.

Trade and investments are ramping up: Trade between UAE and Uzbekistan increased at an average pace of around 20% y-o-y since 2021, settling at nearly USD 650 mn by the end of last year. 337 companies with UAE-linked capital are currently active in Uzbekistan, with investments exceeding USD 1.5 bn in 2024.

#2- UAE + Malaysia sign CEPA: The UAE inked a CEPA with Malaysia to reduce or eliminate tariffs, enhance market access for service exports, accelerate bilateral trade, and promote private sector collaboration, Wam reports.

We knew this was coming: The UAE’s Foreign Trade Minister Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi concluded negotiations on the CEPA in October 2024 with Malaysia’s Investment, Trade, and Industry Minister Zafrul Aziz.

#3- UAE + New Zealand collaborate on clean energy: The UAE inked a CEPA with New Zealand to enhance bilateral ties in sectors including advanced technology, clean energy, infrastructure, agriculture, and financial services, Wam reports. The agreement will also help develop industrial production and avenues for exporting Emirati products.

ICYMI- The UAE and New Zealand reached a trade and economic agreement in September 2024 and finalized a bilateral investment treaty to boost export flows and investments. The agreement will see the UAE remove tariffs on 98.5% of imports from New Zealand, with the figure expected to rise to 99% within three years.

#4- The UAE + Kenya also inked a CEPA to enhance trade ties and supply chain access, Wam reports. UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan said the agreement will enhance trade and investment, while also promoting innovation and sustainable growth in key sectors like agriculture, retail, healthcare, financial services, technology, and tourism. Bilateral non-oil trade rose 29.1% y-o-y to USD 3.1 bn in the first nine months of last year.

INVESTMENT WATCH-

AD Ports Group to build grain terminal at Kazakhstan’s Kuryk Port: AD Ports is investing some USD 30 mn into the development of Kazakhstan’s Kuryk Port’s Sarzha Grain Terminal gain terminal, in which it will hold a majority stake of 51%, Wam reports.

What we know: The terminal is expected to cost around USD 50 mn to build over two phases. Phase one is slated for completion in 1H 2026 and will have a handling capacity of 570k tonnes of grain cargo annually. The second phase will expand capacity to 1.5 mn tonnes per year.

Background: AD Ports Group first partnered with the Kazakh company in August 2023, announcing plans to potentially invest in a Kazakh grain terminal.

TRADE-

DP World + AM Green link up to boost India’s green exports: UAE logistics giant DP World has partnered with India’s green energy producer AM Green to export 1 mn tons of green ammonia and methanol each annually, Reuters reports. The pair will work together to develop infrastructure to accommodate green energy across the UAE, the EU, and Far East region. The two firms will also establish port facilities at AM Green’s industrial hubs across India, as well as build refueling stations for green ammonia and methanol in Dubai, India and Southeast Asia. AM Green is looking to produce some 5 mn tons per annum by 2030 and has pledged to deliver 1 mn tons per annum of green ammonia from its Kakinada plant.

SHIPPING + MARITIME-

Oman’s Asyad puts LNG steamship up for sale: Omani logistics giant Asyad is receiving offers for a 19-year-old steam turbine vessel in its LNG fleet, Tradewinds reports. The 147k cbm ship could attract an offer for conversion, project use, or localized regional trade, brokers said.

LNG ships up for sale lately: 2024 was a record year for demolition sales for LNG carriers, Tradewinds reported last week. “It is likely that 2025 will be a busy year… with all the vessels coming off long-term charters and finding it increasingly challenging to find employment,” according to brokerage firm Fearnleys.

OTHER STORIES WORTH KNOWING THIS MORNING–

Textile imports in Egypt add a new entry point: Egypt’s Customs Authority will now allow the import and customs clearance of textile and related products via the October dry port.

Investors are reportedly turning to airports for secure returns

GCC investors are funneling investments into airports worldwide in a bid to secure safe returns and foster ties in Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia, Arabian Gulf Business Insight (AGBI) reported earlier this week.

What’s the draw? Wealth funds are drawn to investing in airports due to the longevity of the investment, the opening of multiple revenue streams, and the ability to capitalize on the use of the investments in various ways, AGBI writes.

UAE’s Adia has been making moves: A consortium comprising Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (Adia), Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), Khazanah Nasional Berhad, Malaysia’s Employees Provident Fund (EPF), and BlackRock secured an 84.1% stake in a USD 4 bn takeover of Malaysia Airports Holdings last week. Last October, Adia revealed its intention to invest approximately USD 750 mn in the debt of India’s airports infrastructure company GMR Group, establishing a presence in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.

Saudi’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) snapped up a 15% stake in Heathrow last month from Spanish infrastructure player Ferrovial and other shareholders. Heathrow Airport plans to invest GDP 2.3 bn into upgrading its airport facilities over the next two years.

In numbers: Investments in airports worldwide are expected to reach USD 2.4 bn by 2040, and estimates indicate the global airport industry reached a value of USD 194 bn in 2024, AGBI writes. The International Civil Aviation Organization predicts that the air transport industry will contribute USD 1.5 tn to the global GDP by 2036.

What other areas of the world are appealing? The Philippines, Indonesia, Nairobi, and Lagos “might attract attention as key hubs on a fast-growing continent,” BAA & Partners managing director Linus Bauer tells AGBI. Birmingham, Glasgow, Budapest or Zagreb may also hold interest, he added. Over in Latin America, Lima or São Paulo are growing attractive due to a spike in tourism and limited capital among local governments to boost airport capacity and expand infrastructure.
