Regional Logistics Advisory – Middle East Shipping Routes

We extend our sincere greetings and reaffirm our confidence in the stability and logistics infrastructure of the United Arab Emirates. Due to recent developments affecting maritime routes through the Strait of Hormuz, this advisory provides practical guidance to assist clients in managing shipments and planning supply chain activities

 

1. Shipments Currently in Transit to Jebel Ali (UAE) or Dammam (KSA)

Shipping lines may implement different operational measures depending on routing strategies and network adjustments. Possible scenarios include:

  • Completion of voyage with temporary storage at a safe intermediary port until further routing to the final destination becomes available.
  • Vessel deviation to alternative ports outside the Strait of Hormuz such as Khor Fakkan (UAE), Sohar (Oman), Jawaharlal Nehru Port (India), or other regional hubs.

Operational guidance for cargo owners:

  • Wait for official communication from the shipping line regarding onward delivery plans.
  • If a carrier announces service termination, LOGPERTS LLC FZ can assist with Delivery Order (DO) collection, alternative routing, temporary handling, and final delivery solutions.
  • For cargo discharged at Khor Fakkan with Jebel Ali as the original destination, DP World may facilitate integrated direct delivery; Otherwise, LOGPERTS LLC FZ can arrange clearance and land transit to Jebel Ali or the final destination.
