Le aziende di autotrasporto messicane hanno lanciato lunedì uno sciopero nazionale a tempo indeterminato per protestare contro l'insicurezza sulle autostrade, il furto di merci, l'estorsione e l'aumento dei costi operativi, con manifestazioni previste nei principali centri logistici lungo il confine tra Stati Uniti e Messico. Lo sciopero, organizzato dalla National Chamber of Freight Transportation (CANACAR) e da altre organizzazioni di categoria, richiede manifestazioni in tutto il Messico, inclusi Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa, Monterrey, Tijuana e Città del Messico. Le proteste potrebbero interromp
Chattanooga–Non è passato molto tempo–meno di un mese–da quando Jesse Elison ha parlato a un evento del settore affrontando la questione del travagliato nuovo sistema di registrazione Motus. Il vice amministratore della Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) ha parlato lunedì al Broker Compliance Symposium di FreightWaves, una delle due sessioni giornaliere che fungono da preludio al più ampio Future of Freight Festival che inizia qui martedì. La notizia più importante della sua presentazione in realtà non è stata una notizia: dopo aver dichiarato alla National Motor Freight Traff
Per anni, l'Occidente ha cercato una via d'uscita tecnologica dalle terre rare. Gli ingegneri hanno sviluppato nuovi design di motori, chimiche alternative per magneti e materiali che riducono o addirittura eliminano la necessità di alcuni minerali critici. Ogni volta che la Cina inasprisce i controlli sulle esportazioni, questi sforzi ricevono una nuova ondata di attenzione. Vale la pena perseguirli. Ma non rispondono alla domanda che i produttori devono risolvere oggi. La capacità produttiva è diventata la risorsa scarsa numero uno. Questa consapevolezza sta guidando uno dei più ambiziosi pr
I prezzi del greggio si avviano a registrare un netto guadagno settimanale, con il Brent sulla buona strada per un incremento di circa 6 dollari al barile e il WTI che segna un rialzo molto più modesto, passando da circa 99 dollari al barile di lunedì a oltre 100 dollari all'inizio della giornata odierna. Al momento della stesura, il greggio Brent veniva scambiato a 114,00 dollari al barile e il West Texas Intermediate a 100,40 dollari al barile, mentre le ostilità in Medio Oriente rimangono in prima pagina per i trader petroliferi. L'attenzione, tuttavia, sembra concentrarsi sugli attacchi de

Dopo mesi di prezzi dell'energia elevati, l'Europa deve aspettarsi che i costi del carburante continuino ad aumentare durante i mesi invernali con la crescita della domanda. Le continue limitazioni nel commercio energetico e le minacce alle infrastrutture energetiche in tutto il Medio Oriente dovrebbero limitare le forniture energetiche globali e continuare a far salire i prezzi, colpendo duramente i consumatori a meno di interventi governativi. Si stima che l'Unione Europea (UE) abbia pagato 100 miliardi di euro in più per petrolio e gas quest'anno, spingendo i ministri dell'UE a cercare modi
The artificial intelligence boom is placing a dangerous strain on the world’s water and energy resources. As hyperscalers build up resource-hungry data centers at a breakneck pace, demand projections for these finite resources are skyrocketing faster than policymakers can keep pace. But a new study from researchers at the University of Texas at Austin suggests that there may be a way to sustainably source water for data centers by using wastewater from the oil and gas industry. The water and energy use of AI data centers is enormous…
Nonostante la guerra in Iran e la crisi di Hormuz, la produzione chimica a basso costo del Medio Oriente è destinata a conservare il suo vantaggio a lungo termine rispetto ad altre regioni. Sono in corso cambiamenti a breve termine nell'approvvigionamento di polimeri a causa degli attuali vincoli nella base industriale del Golfo Persico, a vantaggio delle aziende chimiche statunitensi. Tuttavia, nel lungo periodo, il Medio Oriente probabilmente manterrà la sua base di acquirenti perché possiede ancora le due leve per essere competitivo sul mercato globale: un'ampia base produttiva e, soprattut
Durante i primi tre mesi circa della guerra tra Stati Uniti, Israele e Iran, l'umore dominante sui mercati petroliferi era che il conflitto sarebbe finito da un momento all'altro. Il breve cessate il fuoco di giugno ha rafforzato quell'ottimismo, quindi ci è voluto un po' più di tempo per affrontare i fatti: la guerra non sarebbe finita da un momento all'altro. Potrebbe addirittura protrarsi fino al prossimo anno, e questo significa prezzi più alti per un periodo più lungo. Il contratto futures ICE Brent per gennaio 2027 viene scambiato a 102,59 dollari al barile. Il contratto di giugno 2027 è

A ship’s anchor can wreak havoc on the world’s undersea infrastructure, something that has provided plenty of rich material for Splash reporting in recent years. For Elisabeth Braw, the Cook Islands-flagged tanker Eagle S provides one of the most brazen examples. On Christmas Day 2024, the vessel was accused of dragging its anchor 90 km …
Alkagesta ha considerato il lancio a Singapore nel 2025 come un test di credibilità, rispettando gli standard normativi, finanziari e operativi mentre i volumi di bunkeraggio salivano verso le 250.000 tonnellate al mese.

Crude oil prices, which dipped on Tuesday, reversed their direction, with Brent ticking above $100 again earlier today following reports of fresh Houthi attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure. At the time of writing, Brent crude was trading at $101.49 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate was changing hands for $90.14 per barrel, despite a statement from Saudi Arabia’s energy minister, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, who said Tuesday the kingdom’s oil flows via the Rast-West pipeline had rebounded to 5.8 million barrels daily. The statement…
Shipping markets rarely announce the top with any clarity. More often, the argument about whether the peak has arrived only really starts when freight rates are still climbing, asset values are making less and less conventional sense and owners are sufficiently confident to keep buying ships at prices that would have looked ridiculous a few …
The transits are a lifeline to gulf energy producers and a boon to shipowners and commodity traders who stand to reap billions of dollars from the trade.
Tajikistan announced that it is now receiving oil and petroleum products from Iran, opening a potential new energy source for a country whose fuel supplies have long been dominated by Russia. The deliveries began in late August, Tajikistan's Energy and Water Resources Ministry told the Asia-Plus news agency, following talks between the two countries on expanding cooperation in the oil and gas sector. The ministry has not disclosed the volume of the shipments, their commercial terms, or how the oil and petroleum products were transported to Tajikistan.…
Iranian oil is disappearing from the market just as its biggest buyer returns for more. China’s recovering crude demand is colliding with the loss of a supplier that sustained its independent refiners through the crisis, forcing them to compete for increasingly expensive alternatives. The consequences reach beyond China: every replacement barrel tightens supplies for other buyers, while Tehran faces a growing incentive to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz, which is now carrying an unexpectedly strong 13 million barrels a day (just 5 million below…

I prezzi del petrolio sono arretrati martedì, invertendo i recenti guadagni mentre gli investitori valutavano i segnali di ripresa delle esportazioni da parte dei produttori mediorientali rispetto all'incertezza che circonda il destino della guerra in Iran. Il greggio Brent con consegna a novembre è sceso dell'1,5% a 103,72 dollari al barile alle 13:10 ET, mentre il greggio WTI con consegna a ottobre è sceso del 2,2% a 90,62 dollari al barile. Le esportazioni di greggio dalla regione sono salite a 15,5 milioni di barili al giorno a settembre, pari a oltre l'80% dei livelli prebellici e al live

China’s diesel fuel and gasoline inventories are declining, which may eventually lead to the imposition of export curbs, Bloomberg has reported, citing recent fuel inventory data. Gasoline inventories at state-owned energy majors were down by 2.9% last week to their lowest level since 2022, according to Chinese commodity market research firm JLC International. Diesel inventories are sitting at the lowest in 15 months, booking a 2.4% dip last week, the publication noted. “With the domestic market tightening, we see an increasing risk…

For the first four months of the war between the United States and Israel and Iran, oil traders remained largely bearish. The overwhelming expectation was that the war would end soon—even as July rolled around—and oil flows out of Hormuz would recover. Instead, the world is slipping into a fuel shortage, and traders have gone bullish. They are especially bullish on fuels in the United States, it seems. The world’s biggest crude oil consumer and the biggest exporter of crude and fuels has not managed to avoid a supply squeeze at…

Washington’s takeover of more than a fifth of Venezuela’s oil reserves in a deal officially signed by U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright on 2 September was as unexpected as it was dramatic, with President Donald Trump’s comment a few days earlier that it is “the biggest oil deal in world history” looking justified from several perspectives. From a pure volume standpoint, the deal covers 65 billion barrels of proven crude oil reserves (out of Venezuela’s total 303 billion barrels) across 17 fields. To put that…
Capesize The market enjoyed a notably bullish week, recovering strongly after the UK holiday-shortened start and building momentum across both basins.

A new project is seeking to turn cattle manure into a source of sustainable natural gas for energy production and shipping fuel. The initiative just broke ground in Broken Bow, Nebraska, where eight anaerobic digesters will process waste from the Adams Land & Cattle feedlot into what the project leads are hoping will be a lucrative and eco-friendly source of approximately 1.2 million MMBtu of pipeline-quality natural gas per year. “The Adams Land & Cattle RNG facility demonstrates how American agriculture can play an important role…
Governments worldwide are racing to develop small modular reactors (SMRs) as part of their plans for a nuclear power renaissance, with significant progress being seen in recent years. However, the United States appears to be leading the way in nuclear microreactor development, with significant investment in the technology recently announced by the U.S. Army. SMRs are advanced nuclear reactors with a power capacity of up to 300 MW(e) per unit, or around one-third of the generating capacity of a conventional nuclear reactor. They are much smaller…

Citadel is shopping for U.S. oil production assets, including a previous bid for WildFire Energy before Magnolia Oil & Gas agreed to buy the Eagle Ford producer for $4.06 billion. Reuters reported Friday that the hedge fund and commodities trader has held talks with several private-equity owners of oil-weighted exploration and production companies in recent weeks. WildFire would have given Citadel roughly 53,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day of production, about 70% of it oil, plus 810,000 net acres in South Texas. Magnolia ultimately won…

With the overall jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing a surprisingly big jump in employment, truck transportation participated in that rebound. The monthly report showed truck transportation employment rising 4,800 jobs to 1,470,300. It’s the highest level of jobs in the sector since October. But with employment since then mostly trending down each month, the number of jobs in the sector is still about 10,000 jobs less than it was a year ago. window.googletag = window.googletag || {cmd: []}; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var gptSlot = googletag.defineSlot('/21776187881/FW-
