Traffic Recovery Remains Slow at Suez Canal Despite 100 Days of Ceasefire
According to the latest data from BIMCO, the number of vessels transiting the Suez Canal in the first week of 2026 remains approximately 60% lower than the same period in 2023—before the mass diversions around the Cape of Good Hope began. This depressed level of activity has now persisted for two years.
Since the sharp decline in transits began in January 2024, the canal's quarterly deadweight tonnage capacity has consistently remained 51% to 64% below 2023 levels. This trend showed no improvement throughout 2025, with year-on-year declines ranging between 57% and 64%.
While a return to the Suez route would save shipowners significant fuel and time costs, the shorter voyage distance would also reduce the overall global demand for vessel tonnage. BIMCO estimates that a full recovery of canal traffic could lead to a roughly 10% drop in demand for container ships, with other shipping segments seeing a 2% to 3% decrease.

FedEx to Exit Brazil's Domestic Market, Focusing on International and Supply Chain Services
FedEx has announced a strategic shift in Brazil, phasing out its domestic delivery operations to concentrate exclusively on international shipping and supply chain solutions. Domestic pickup services will continue until February 6, 2026, after which a transition period will begin. The company expects to complete the wind-down by June of the same year, which will involve closing relevant facilities, reorganizing logistics assets, and implementing workforce reductions. This decision is framed as a strategic adjustment in response to evolving market dynamics in Brazil. Moving forward, FedEx will focus on providing international air and ground services alongside comprehensive supply chain support, maintaining its commitment to facilitating global trade for its customers.

Indonesia to Enforce New Regulations on Overdue Port Cargo in 2026
Indonesia’s Ministry of Finance has issued a new regulation targeting long-overdue cargo at ports. According to the rule, goods left unclaimed for more than 30 days will be classified as "uncontrolled goods" and transferred to a customs-bonded warehouse, where storage fees will apply.
A grace period of 60 days will be provided for clearance. If the cargo remains uncleared after this period, it will be subject to disposal by auction, destruction, or state confiscation.
The regulation is scheduled to take effect by the end of March 2026.
