What makes Children's Ground different?

They stay. Not for a grant cycle or a pilot program, but for a generation. Their work in Central Australia and the Top End of the NT is built entirely around First Nations culture, community leadership and self-determination.

Magellan has been a proud supporter since 2019. Our campaign is still open, and every donation goes directly to programs on Country. Join us.

Global schedule reliability has reached 62.2% - the best of 2026 so far.

That is real progress. But late vessels are still arriving an average of 5.48 days behind schedule, and Australian and New Zealand ports are showing delays of 1-3 days across most terminals.

Plan with a buffer. Confirm ETAs with your account manager before committing downstream resources.

Air freight rates across the Asia Pacific are more than 40% above where they were a year ago.

Gulf air cargo capacity is 46% below pre-conflict levels. Jet fuel hit a 23-year high in March. These are not temporary fluctuations - they reflect a structural shift in global air cargo networks driven by the Middle East conflict.

If your business relies on air freight for time-sensitive or perishable cargo, here is what the current market means for your planning: https://hubs.la/Q04g2mzJ0

5 things Australian importers should do right now.

1️⃣ Treat this as a multi-month disruption - not a blip. Plan inventory, procurement and contracts accordingly.

2️⃣ Call your freight partner today. Ask specifically about your trade lane exposure and what alternative routing is available.

3️⃣ Secure air freight capacity now - before it tightens further. Rates are already up 35%+ since March.

4️⃣ Review fertiliser and agricultural input positions if relevant to your business. The pipeline is tight.

5️⃣ Build a scenario plan. Know what you'd do if this runs to Q3, to Q4, and beyond.

More detail on each of these in our updated crisis briefing: https://hubs.la/Q04dRMB20

How the Strait of Hormuz freight disruption affects Australian importers - practical steps and expert guidance to protect your supply chain.

20/04/2026

Have you noticed freight costs going up lately? Here's the short version of why.

The Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's oil and a significant share of global cargo pass, has been effectively closed since late February. This weekend, Iran fired on ships attempting to transit, and traffic has ground to a near-halt.

For Australian businesses that import or export goods, this means higher freight rates, longer lead times, and tighter air freight capacity -and there's no clear end date.

We've put together a plain-English guide to what's happening and what Australian importers can do about it. Updated this morning.
