Strait of Hormuz Closure: Implications for Saudi Freight and Red Sea Ports

November 5, 2026

A Strait of Hormuz closure would redirect Saudi Arabia’s international freight through Red Sea ports, increasing reliance on inland transport and the East–West Petroline pipeline. This report models a full-year closure using 2025 freight demand to assess changes in cargo routing, transport activity and energy consumption. The scenario raises cumulative cargo handling by 31.9% and transport energy use by 29.5%. […]

Shipping decarbonisation pathway showing the scalable zero-emission fuel share needed in 2030, 2035 and 2045.

Shipping decarbonization needs more investment in ships and fuels before 2030

November 5, 2026

Shipping decarbonisation is advancing technologically, but investment and commercial demand are struggling to keep pace. This report assesses progress towards having scalable zero-emission fuels account for at least 5% of international shipping’s fuel use by 2030, examining fuel supply, vessel demand, finance and policy. Despite growth in methanol-capable vessels and bunkering infrastructure, weaker ordering signals, reduced willingness to pay for […]
