Good morning, folks. <\/strong>The news cycle has slowed down after a weekend surge of industry updates. In today\u2019s issue, the shipping industry dominates, with updates on Bahri\u2019s fleet expansion and the latest Houthi attacks in the Red Sea. On the global front, we have a round-up on the intensifying shipbuilding competition amid a surge in consolidations. Shall we?<\/span><\/p>\n

HAPPENING TODAY-<\/p>\n

The <\/strong>Syria Recovery and Investment Forum<\/a><\/strong> will <\/strong>close <\/strong>its doors today <\/strong>in Bahrain\u2019s Manama. The forum is hosting global industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss Syria's most urgent rebuilding needs \u2014 and attract investments \u2014 across key sectors including education, energy, housing, smart cities, ports, and metro systems.<\/p>\n

The <\/strong>Transport Middle East Exhibition<\/a><\/strong> is on its second day and will run until tomorrow, 3 September, <\/strong>in Salalah, Oman. The exhibition hosted by Salalah Port features 35 international speakers and over 50 exhibitors from the maritime sector to discuss global transportation and logistics. <\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE-<\/p>\n

<\/a>#1- Quick-commerce startup <\/strong>Ninja<\/a><\/strong> is reportedly in talks with investment banks to advise on a <\/strong>potential IPO that could hit the market as early as 2026<\/strong>, Bloomberg<\/a> reports, citing people it says are familiar with the matter. The three-year-old company asked banks to pitch for roles as underwriters and advisers, though no final decision has been made on timing or size, and a listing could be pushed to 2027.<\/p>\n

ICYMI- Ninja became one of the kingdom\u2019s newest <\/strong>unicorns<\/a><\/strong> earlier this year<\/strong>, after raising USD 250 mn from a Riyad Capital-led round at a USD 1.5 bn valuation. A Ninja IPO would further swell Riyadh\u2019s tech pipeline, which already includes fintech heavyweights like Tabby<\/a> and Emkan Finance.<\/p>\n

<\/a>#2- G42\u2019s shopping for tenants for its 5 GW UAE-US AI Campus\u2026: <\/strong>Abu Dhabi\u2019s state AI firm G42 is still negotiating with US tech giants including Amazon Web Services, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and xAI to become tenants for the planned 5 GW UAE-US AI Campus<\/a>, with no agreements yet finalized, Semafor<\/a> reports, citing a person with direct knowledge of the matter. Google is said to be furthest along in talks to offtake computing capacity. The firm is also considering providing capacity to foreign governments, in an arrangement described as \u201cforeign embassies,\u201d where foreign sovereign tenants can store data as an overseas backup, the source added.<\/p>\n

\u2026 and is looking to diversify chip suppliers:<\/strong> G42 is holding discussions with AMD, Cerebras Systems, and Qualcomm for computing capacity, the source said. This comes as some US officials have sought to slow<\/a> the UAE\u2019s access to Nvidia hardware over concerns China might get access to the technology. <\/p>\n

REFRESHER-<\/strong> Announced during US President Trump\u2019s visit to Abu Dhabi in May, the project is billed as the largest AI infrastructure development outside the US. Its first phase \u2014 a 1 GW Stargate data center<\/a> led by OpenAI, MGX, SoftBank, and Oracle \u2014 is slated to launch in 2026 using Nvidia\u2019s latest GB300 systems. <\/p>\n

#3- US-based<\/strong> logistics giant <\/strong>FedEx<\/a><\/strong> inaugurated a new head office in Riyadh<\/strong>, set to manage operations in Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait, FedEx\u2019s head of the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, and Africa operations Kami Viswanathan\u200f told Aleqtisadiah<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n

The expansion includes launching an air and ocean logistics division<\/strong> and providing new services like a non-stop air connection from the West to the Kingdom, which will cut delivery time down to 48 hours, Viswanathan\u200f said. Four gateways and four operational stations will be introduced across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, the Transport General Authority said on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

#4- UAE eyes cooperation on LNG with Nigeria:<\/strong> Energy and Infrastructure Minister Suhail Al Mazrouei met with Nigerian State Minister for Petroleum Resources Ekperikpe Ekpo, to discuss cooperation on LNG trading, cargo swaps, and midstream projects such as pipelines and processing hubs, according to a statement<\/a> from Ekpo. The two ministers also discussed cooperation on decarbonization initiatives like carbon capture and storage, blue hydrogen, and methane management.<\/p>\n

DISRUPTION WATCH- <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/strong> Houthis <\/strong>claim near-miss strike on Israeli-owned tanker: <\/strong>Yemen\u2019s Houthi militants have claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile attack on a Liberian-flagged, Israeli-owned tanker close to Saudi Arabia's Yanbu, Reuters<\/a> reports. The attacked vessel, Scalet Ray, is owned by the Singapore-based Eastern Pacific Shipping, which is itself owned by the Israeli shipping magnate Idan Ofer. The incident was first reported<\/a> by the the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), which said the vessel and its crew were unharmed and are continuing their journey. <\/p>\n

REMEMBER- The Houthis are now adopting a <\/strong>broader strategy<\/a><\/strong> to its selection of <\/strong>targeted vessels<\/strong> to include vessels whose owners have any operational links to Israel, potentially putting one out of every six ships at risk of future attacks. Following the group\u2019s attack on the Magic Seas<\/a> vessel in July, the Houthis spokesperson Yahya al-Sarea said the vessel was targeted because its owner also operates ships calling on Israeli ports. Initial reports of the attack were unable to pinpoint why the vessel was targeted despite the lack of Israeli ports calls linked to its name.<\/p>\n

The militant group recently published a <\/strong>set of <\/strong>frequently asked questions<\/a><\/strong> to help shippers <\/strong>navigate their \u2018policies\u2019<\/strong>, ostensibly promising safe passage through Yemeni waters for any vessel unaffiliated with their list of \u201csanctioned\u201d entities, Lloyd\u2019s List<\/a> reported last month. The militant group instructed seafarers to submit a safe passage request via the Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center (HOCC), a Houthi-run platform. <\/p>\n

MEANWHILE- The Red Sea route is seeing some healthy signs of return, <\/strong>with Suez Canal transits growing by some 33% y-o-y so far this year, TradeWinds<\/a> reports, citing Baltic and International Maritime Council (Bimco) Chief Analyst Niels Rasmussen. \u201cThe ratio between deadweight transiting the Suez Canal and the Cape of Good Hope has year to date increased to 1.44 from 1.09 in 2024,\u201d Rasmussen said. <\/p>\n

This might be bad news for shippers: <\/strong>The traffic surge is set to increase the supply of available vessels, given that now more voyages take less time. Product tanker supply is forecasted to grow some 3.5% y-o-y in 2025 and 6.5% y-o-y next year, while demand growth is expected to be stagnant \u2014 settling between an annual -0.5% to 0.5% growth rate this year and a 0.5-1.5% rate in 2026.<\/p>\n

MARKET WATCH- <\/p>\n

#1- Oil prices surged this morning amid increasing concerns over possible supply shortages due to the Ukraine-Russia conflict<\/strong>, Reuters<\/a> reports. Brent crude futures went up by USD 0.40 to reach USD 68.55 \/ bbl by 01.49 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) surged by USD 1.05 to trade at USD 65.06 \/ bbl. <\/p>\n

ON A RELATED NOTE- Aramco, Somo halt supplies to India\u2019s Nayara:<\/strong> Saudi Aramco and Iraq\u2019s state oil company Somo have suspended crude oil sales to India\u2019s Nayara Energy, following European Union sanctions imposed in July<\/a> on the Russian-backed refiner, Reuters<\/a> reports, citing sources it says are familiar with the matter. The US has also imposed 50% tariffs<\/a> on India last month, up from 25%, in a move that aims to punish the Asian giant for Russian crude imports. <\/p>\n

What's on the line for Nayara? <\/strong>The Indian refinery typically gets around 1 mn barrels of Saudi crude and 2 mn barrels of Iraqi crude each month, but it did not receive shipments from either in August, Reuters said, citing data from Kpler and LSEG. Nayara Energy is responsible for around 8% of India\u2019s total 5.2 mn bbl \/ d refining capacity. <\/p>\n

With Gulf flows suspended<\/strong>, Nayara \u2014 majority-owned by Russian entities like Rosneft \u2014 sourced all of its August crude from Russia, according to LSEG data and industry sources cited by Reuters. A Russian Embassy official in New Delhi told the newswire last month that Rosneft is supplying the refiner directly.<\/p>\n

#2- Baltic index maintains upwards trajectory: <\/strong>The Baltic Exchange\u2019s dry bulk sea freight index \u2014 which tracks rates for the capesize, panamax, and supramax vessel segments \u2014 went down 0.1%<\/a> to 2,024 points on Monday. The capesize climbed 0.8% to 2,949 points, while the panamax index dipped 1.8% to 1,813 points. The smaller supramax index rose by 2 points to reach 1,467 points.<\/p>\n
