Escalating US-Iran geopolitical tensions are significantly impacting global ocean freight for August shipments, especially for Asia-Middle East and Asia-Europe trade lanes.

Rising risks in the Strait of Hormuz have led carriers to impose higher war risk insurance surcharges, adjust sailing schedules, and reroute vessels. This results in volatile freight rates, limited container availability and extended transit times, bringing uncertainties to the delivery of chemical cargo including propylene carbonate.

As a professional supplier of fine chemicals, our logistics team keeps close communication with main shipping lines to secure space and explore alternative transportation solutions, striving to mitigate disruptions to our partners’ orders.

We kindly remind all customers to confirm shipment plans as early as possible. Sea freight quotations may be adjusted temporarily due to the evolving regional situation.

Please feel free to contact our sales team if you need updated logistics information or arrangement for chemical shipments.
