What we're tracking today

TODAY: Humain’s USD 77 bn data center targets + GulfNav wraps acquisition of Brooge Energy’s Fujairah business

Good morning, nice people. We’re heading into the weekend with a packed issue, with investment, M&A, zones, aviation, and trade updates from all across the region. But first, an update on US court order blocking Trump’s tariffs…

THE BIG LOGISTICS STORY- Trump tariffs blocked: A US federal trade court blocked US President Donald Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs in a move expected to destabilize the president’s trade policies and ongoing bilateral trade negotiations with trade foes, including the EU, Canada, and China.

What’s included: The court order halts Liberation Day’s expansive tariffs, as well as country-specific moves on Canada, Mexico, and China. Steel and aluminum duties were, however, not covered by the court order.

The argument: “The court does not pass upon the wisdom or likely effectiveness of the President's use of tariffs as leverage. That use is impermissible not because it is unwise or ineffective, but because [federal law] does not allow it,” the judge panel said. The court said that an emergency law used by Trump to justify the tariffs was misused, adding that regulating trade is a Congress prerogative.

What’s next? The court gave the US administration 10 days to formally halt the tariffs, but the administration is expected to appeal the ruling

The story made some headlines in the int’l press: Reuters | AP | Bloomberg | The Financial Times | Axios | CNN | BBC | The Guardian

HAPPENING TODAY-

The Saudi Warehousing & Logistics Expo is on its last day in Riyadh. The second edition of the expo will host over 18k supply chain industry professionals and more than 400 exhibitors to explore over 3.5k solutions.

The International Conference on Logistics and Supply Chain Management is on its second day and will run until Friday, 30 May in Casablanca. The conference will cover scientific research, technologies, and environmentally friendly digital solutions in the logistics, transport, and supply chain sectors.

WATCH THIS SPACE-

#1- The Egyptian government has earmarked EGP 7 bn to boost local exports as part of its wider export subsidy program, according to a statement. Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly and Investment Minister Hassan El Khatib made the announcement during a meeting with Samsung Electronics Egypt Chairman Siham Atta and Regional Financial Director Jehan Yoon.

REMEMBER- The government is gearing up to unveil a revamped export subsidy program. The program is set to roughly double support rates across all sectors, introduce new incentives for branded exports, and prioritize higher value-added sectors, two sources with knowledge of the matter told EnterpriseAM earlier this month. The framework — with a significantly larger allocation of EGP 44.5 bn — is expected to be formally announced soon, come into effect at the start of the new fiscal year on 1 July, and run through 2028.

#2- Adnoc Distribution is planning to produce marine motor oil in Egypt in partnership with TotalEnergies by 4Q this year, specialty products VP Saber Al Amari told Asharq Business. The company’s production capacity is expected to hit 90k tons annually, with a sales target of 1.5 - 2 mn liters of oil in Egypt by year-end, Al Amari added.

REMEMBER- Adnoc has other plans for Egypt, including expanding its aviation fuel services, as part of a wider strategy to invest USD 250-300 mn across its markets this year.

#3- A slew of UAE-based firms have inked a letter of interest (LOI) to explore areas of investment in Al Rawda Special Economic Zone, Al Khaleej reported, stating DP World CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulaymen. Interested companies include logistics sector players Indo Kishore Logistics, Oriental General Trading, and Palmon Group, as well as manufacturers, such as Al Bayader, Camtech Manufacturing, Conares, Apparel Group, New East, and Spinneys.

ICYMI- DP World and Oman’s Public Authority for Special Economic Zones signed anagreement to develop and operate the first phase of the Al Rawdah Special Economic Zone in Mahadha in Oman earlier this week. The zone — whose first phase is set to see USD 2 bn of investments — will focus on vehicle sector manufacturing, textiles, clothing, steel, and logistics.

#4-Bahrain’s Bapco to exploit LNG supply glut: Bahrain’s state-owned oil company Bapco Energies is looking to import more LNG shipments — including via long-term supply contracts — amid strong market supply, the firm’s CEO Mark Thomas told Bloomberg.

The LNG supply pipeline: Bapco obtained an LNG cargo in May, and is expecting another cargo in June, with more supply tenders awarded for June and July. The company is also eyeing tenders for 2026 and 2027 deliveries, as well as long-term supply agreements.

REMEMBER- Bahrain received its first LNG cargo after a five-year hiatus earlier this month as warming weather and a decline in production pushed several regional players to import more LNG. The gulf nation is also reportedly in talks with Russia over a three-year supply agreement for 1.5 mn tons of LNG annually.

MARKET WATCH-

#1- Oil prices surged this morning in the wake of US’ federal court order to block US President Trump’s expansive tariffs, Reuters reports. Brent crude futures rose by USD 0.78 to reach USD 65.68 a barrel, while the US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) increased also by USD 0.78 to hit USD 62.62 a barrel by 04.05 GMT.

However, pressure from rising Opec+ supply is casting its shadow on Saudi Arabia, with the Kingdom reportedly mulling a cut of July rates for Asian buyers to a six-month low, refiners told Reuters. The official selling price for flagship Arab Light crude could fall by USD 0.40-0.50 from June to USD 0.90-1 a barrel, according to refiners. Prices for other Saudi grades — Arab Extra Light, Arab Medium, and Arab Heavy — are also expected to drop by USD 0.30-0.45 per barrel from the previous month.

REMEMBER- The Kingdom hiked its crude oil selling price for buyers in Asia by USD 0.20 a barrel for June, undercutting previous forecasts.

#2- Baltic index snaps out of losing streak: The Baltic Exchange’s dry bulk sea freight index — which tracks rates for the capesize, panamax, and supramax vessel segments — rose 0.3% to 1,303 points on Wednesday. The capesize index rose 3.6% to 1,874 points, while the panamax index decreased 3% to 1,169 points. The smaller supramax index slipped nine points to 964.

DATA POINT-

Turkey’s Istanbul Airport recorded a 39.6% y-o-y increase in cargo volume handled to 1.97 mn tons in FY 2024, snagging the title as Europe's top cargo hub, TRT reports, citing data from the German Aviation Association (BDL). The Turkish airport has dethroned Frankfurt Airport, which saw a slight 1.2% y-o-y increase to 1.95 mn tons handled during the same period.

PSA-

Hapag-Lloyd rolls out new GRI: Shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd will implement a general rate increase (GRI) to USD 2k per container for all cargo transported in 20 ft and 40 ft for dry, reefer, and special containers as well as high cube equipment from the Indian Subcontinent and the Middle East to North Africa, according to a statement. The GRI is applicable starting 1 July 2025 and is valid until further notice.

PIF-Backed Humain eyes USD 77 bn data centers buildout by 2034

Saudi’s newly launched AI outfit Humain is eying a target of 1.9 GW of data center capacity by 2030, with plans to expand to 6.6 GW by 2034, the firm’s CEO Tareq Amin told the Financial Times. The buildout is set to cost around USD 77 bn at current market rates, Amin said.

What’s next for Humain? The PIF-backed company plans to begin chip procurement within 30 days for an initial 50MW data center — powered by 18k Nvidia chips — set to launch in 2026, before scaling up to 500MW over time. The company is also planning a massive Riyadh data center park, three times the size of Groq’s USD 1.5 bn AI inference node.

Humain is also seeking a US tech partner for its data center business, which aims to become one of the world’s largest AI infrastructure providers. While Amin did not specify the names, he indicated that talks are progressing with several major players in the sector.

ICYMI- Since launching earlier this year, Humain has signed USD 23 bn worth of agreements with US tech firms, including Nvidia, AMD, Amazon Web Services, and Qualcomm, Amin said.

ALSO- Humain will launch a USD 10 bn venture capital fund this summer, targeting AI startups across the US, Europe, and parts of Asia, Amin told the Financial Times. The company is in talks with several US tech groups, including OpenAI, xAI, and Andreessen Horowitz about the plan, Amin said.

M&A Watch

GulfNav is the new owner of Nasdaq-listed Brooge Energy

DFM-listed GulfNav signed off on an AED 3.2 bn transaction to buy the Fujairah-based storage business of Nasdaq-listed Brooge Energy, according to a disclosure (pdf). The signing wraps up a transaction structure shareholders had approved back in March that is comprised of a mix of cashflow, new shares, and mandatory convertible bonds swaps (MCBs).

What’s on the table: GulfNav is picking up three Brooge subsidiaries that run oil storage infrastructure in Fujairah — namely Brooge Petroleum and Gas Investment Company, Brooge Petroleum and Gas Investment Company Phase III, and BPGIC Phase 3 Limited.

How they’re paying for it:

  • Some 358.8 mn new shares issued to Brooge at AED 1.25 each, with a one-year lock-up.
  • AED 2.3 bn in convertible bonds issued to Brooge, also at AED 1.25 per share, and about AED 500 mn in bonds offered to GulfNav shareholders at a slightly lower AED 1.10.
  • AED 460 mn in-cashflow to Brooge.

What they said about expected synergies: “The acquisition is expected to generate significant operational synergies, including cost savings from integrated logistics and increased storage capacity. Financially, the transaction is projected to enhance GulfNav’s revenue streams and improve EBITDA margins over the next few years. The issuance of new shares and MCBs will increase Gulfnav’s share capital by approximately 220%.” Ahmad Kilani, CEO of GulfNav said.

What’s next: Both sides still need to tick off regulatory approvals and a few legal steps. GULFNAV is also planning to raise fresh capital and issue the new shares and bonds. The pair is aiming to close the transaction before the end of 3Q.

ADVISORS - Gulf Navigation appointed Trussbridge Advisory (DIFC) as its exclusive financial advisor, and Pinsent Masons as its lead counsel. Ibrahim & Partners Law Firm provided legal advice on the transaction structuring and related regulatory aspects.

Aviation

Dubai Aerospace Enterprise to shell out 75 aircraft to two buyers

DAE shells out 75 aircraft from its fleet: Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) has inked agreements to offload 75 air carriers to two undisclosed parties, according to a statement. The portfolio includes 50 Embraer E-Jet aircraft — which will be acquired by a specialized leasing company. The remaining 25 off-production jets will be sold to an unnamed financial investor, and DAE will still provide lease, asset, and technical management services on the jets.

What else do we know? Some transactions are still subject to regulatory approvals and closing conditions, yet all are expected to close before the year’s end. Other terms of the agreement were not made public.

The impact: Following the completion of the transaction, the average age of DAE’s fleet will drop, while the average remaining lease term on its passenger fleet will rise, according to the statement. The company’s fleet will also include no Embraer jets, while Boeing aircraft will make up 45% of the firm’s fleet, and both Airbus and ATR will hold a 42% and 13% share, respectively.

Market reax: Gulf Navigation’s shares were up 8.97% to settle at AED 5.95 per share at the end of the day.

ADVISORS- Allen Overy Shearman Sterling and KPMG acted as advisors for the transaction.

REMEMBER- DAE’s been shuffling up its fleet…: The firm acquired 17 aircraft for USD 1 bn after inking agreements with multiple undisclosed counterparties in March. This came after the company sold seven Airbus and Boeing aircraft to K2 Aviation back in January. DAE has recently finalized its acquisition of Ireland-based Nordic Aviation Capital — an acquisition set to expand DAE’s fleet from 252 jets — as of September last year — to 750 assets worth USD 22 bn, including regional turboprops and aircraft. The firm also committed to acquiring a further 100 aircraft from the likes of Airbus, Boeing, ATR, and other trading counterparts earlier this month.

CMA CGM to develop dry ports in Syrian, Jordanian freezones

CMA CGM secures another development in Syria: Syria’s General Authority for Land and Sea Ports has inked a strategic MoU with French maritime giant CMA CGM to develop and operate dry ports in both the Syrian-Jordanian Joint Freezone and the freezone in Adra, Syrian public news agency Sana reported last week. No investment ticket or timeline have been disclosed.

The details: The agreement reportedly grants CMA CGM 300k sqm to develop in the Adra Free Zone in rural Damascus, whereupon it will provide services including customs clearance, warehousing, and multimodal transport, Syrian news daily Shaam reported last week. No further details were made public.

REFRESHER- Investor appetite is up: CMA CGM inked a USD 230 mn agreement with Syria’s Land and Sea Ports Authority to develop and operate a container terminal at Latakia Port earlier in May. This came after a total of 88 investment and operational contracts were reportedly inked for the Syrian-Jordanian Joint Freezone in 2025 as of last month, following its resumption of operations in January 2025.

Syrian-Jordanian economic teamwork: The Jordanian and Syrian Chambers of Commerce agreed this week to work on a roadmap to chart future joint investments, with a focus on key sectors, including transport, shipping, trade, agriculture, food, and construction. Jordan’s exports to Syria increased by 520% y-o-y in January 2025 to JOD 18.6 mn (USD 26.2 mn, while its imports from Syria decreased by 9% y-o-y to JOD 4.7 mn.

REMEMBER- Syria is seeing sanctions lifted: Both the US and the EU issued sweeping sanctions relief for Syria this week as part of a wider global push to remove sanctions on the country. This is slated to include a waiver for the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act and unlock investment in Syria after 14 years of war and sanctions.

You can know more about what the recent lifting of sanctions means for investors from our conversation with Mark Nakhla, Chief Research Officer of Kharon, a US-based data and technology firm that advises businesses on a range of sanctions and compliance risks.

AND- The Syrian gov’t is set to sign today an agreement with four companies to upgrade its electrical grid capacity by 5 GW, Reuters reports. The move — which would double the nation’s power supply — will see Qatar's UCC Holding lead the development in partnership with Turkey’s Kalyon GES Enerji Yatirimlari, Cengiz Enerji, and the US’ Power International USA.

Egypt’s HoldiPharma, US’ Dawah Pharma launch export-focused pharma JV

HoldiPharma and Dawah Pharma form export-focused JV: Egyptian state-owned pharma manufacturer HoldiPharma inked an agreement with US-based Dawah Pharma to establish a joint venture aimed at producing and exporting meds and supplements to international markets, with a focus on North America and Europe, according to a cabinet statement. Dawah Pharma will hold a 60% stake in the new entity, and HoldiPharma will hold the remaining 40%.

The game plan: The first phase will see the JV manufacturing six nutritional supplements and exporting them to the US, marking HoldiPharma’s entry into the country. The company plans to produce a range of products including syrups, tablets, ampoules, dietary supplements, pre-filled syringes, sterile injectables, ophthalmic meds, and over-the-counter meds.

These products will be developed in line with the standards of top global regulators, including the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency. This will boost their competitiveness across different markets in North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

This comes hot on the heels of the US-Egypt Policy Leaders Forum, where senior officials signaled a new phase in bilateral economic cooperation, including a customs agreement that’s in its final stages.

The pharma sector is on a tear — and the new JV is riding the wave: Egypt’s pharma market expanded 41% y-o-y in value last year, driven largely by price hikes. With more increases on the way and a revamped pricing framework in the works, analysts are penciling in another 25% market growth in 2025.

US solar panel manufacturers petition to close tariff loophole

Tariff exemption could flood US with no-duty solar panels: US solar energy equipment manufacturers are petitioning the US International Trade Commission (ITC) to excise a tariff loophole — the exact nature of which is unclear — that could allow panels imported from four South Asian economies to proliferate stateside, Bloomberg reports. The commission found that solar imports from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam — which dominate the US market — were harming domestic production, and approved duties ranging between 34% and 3,521%. US players are asking for the tariffs to be rolled out by 2 June — rather than the slated date of 30 June — to prevent no-duty products from entering the market.

What happens if the loophole remains? If the ITC does not publish a decision by 2 June, significant quantities of solar equipment stored in warehouses could enter [the US] tariff-free. The products that maneuver through the loophole could amount to hundreds of mns of greenbacks.
