With the current instability affecting parts of the Middle East, businesses are facing tighter controls, shifting routes and greater pressure to get documentation right the first time. In this environment, export compliance is not just an administrative task; it is a critical part of protecting shipment timelines and customer confidence.

Saudi Arabia remains a strategic market, but it also demands accurate and timely documentation, including SABER-related certification, tariff code compliance and shipment-level checks. Even small errors can create costly delays, especially when wider regional disruption is already affecting transport capacity and lead times.

Our Saudi export documentation service helps businesses prepare with confidence.

We support exporters with the paperwork, certification guidance and compliance checks needed to reduce risk and keep goods moving as smoothly as possible.

For businesses exporting to Saudi Arabia, this is the time to ensure documentation is in order and supply chain plans are built with resilience in mind.

West Africa Logistics | Q2 2026 Update

West Africa remains one of the most important logistics corridors to watch in 2026, but the key story in Q2 is not just growth. It is capacity pressure, route complexity, and rising cost exposure.

IMARC Group estimates the West Africa logistics market will reach £56 billion by 2034, while Mordor Intelligence projects the freight and logistics market at £21 billion in 2025, growing at a 6.15% CAGR. Demand is rising, but so are the operational demands on ports, warehousing, and inland supply chains.

The latest market signals point to a clear shift: businesses can no longer rely on volume growth alone. Container dwell times remain high, congestion continues to affect key gateways, and visibility across the supply chain is becoming a competitive advantage rather than a nice-to-have.

What this means for UK businesses:

· West Africa is still a growth market, but ex*****on now matters more than
ambition.
· Capacity is tighter, so booking early and planning proactively is critical.
· Delays, demurrage, and documentation issues can quickly erode margin.
· Businesses that prioritise logistics strategy, visibility, and local expertise will
be better positioned to protect service levels.

For UK exporters and importers, Q2 is a reminder that West Africa offers opportunity, but only for businesses with a logistics model built for complexity.

Freight Agency Limited at the United Ocean Lines Global Annual Meeting 2026 - Porto, Portugal

Last week, our Commercial Manager, Dickson and Commercial Specialist, Creasey represented FAL at the United Ocean Lines Global Annual Meeting in Porto, Portugal.

Centered on the theme “Come Together,” the event’s true value lay not just in the scheduled sessions, but in the meaningful discussions that happened in between. Conversations about where trade lanes are heading, where the pressure points are building, and which partnerships are worth investing in for the long term.

Andrew and Luke returned with stronger relationships across the UOL network, a sharper understanding of how key corridors are developing, and a number of promising conversations that are already feeding into how we plan and deliver for our clients on routes to West Africa, the Middle East and the USA.

Events like this matter because logistics is, at its core, a relationship business. The strength of your network determines how well you can respond when the market shifts or when a client needs you to go further than usual.

Thank you to the team for a well-organised and genuinely productive week, and to everyone who took the time to connect.

At a time when the situation in parts of the Middle East is putting greater pressure on trade flows, lead times, and supply chain decisions, businesses need more than movement alone. They need flexibility, clarity, and confidence.

Through the Landbridge service via London Gateway, Freight Agency Limited can now support inland cargo movement to major Middle East destinations, including:

* King Abdullah

* Jeddah

* Dammam / Jubail

* Riyadh

* Bahrain

* Kuwait

* Qatar

* UAE

For customers shipping into the Gulf, this means greater flexibility in cargo routing and another option to consider when balancing timing, cost, and supply chain priorities.

In a market where uncertainty can affect lead times and planning, having additional routing options is not just useful; it's essential. It is commercially valuable. If your business ships to the Middle East, we would be happy to review the best option for your cargo.

We will be closed for the Easter break on Friday 3rd April and Monday 6th April 2026.

To ensure your shipments move smoothly around the Easter period, we strongly encourage customers to book and confirm their cargo as early as possible, as haulage capacity is typically booked up quickly before the holidays. Early booking helps us secure vehicles, coordinate documentation, and minimise disruptions to your supply chain.

If you have time-sensitive shipments or specific requirements over Easter, please contact the team in advance, and we will be happy to assist.

This International Women’s Day, we are proud to celebrate Daisy Barraclough and every woman who brings their talent, determination, and character to Freight Agency Limited and to our industry.

At just 17, Daisy stepped into one of the world’s most complex industries and knew it was exactly where she was meant to be.

Recently, she sat the Air Dangerous Goods Examination, a rigorous and highly technical qualification that even experienced logistics professionals approach with care, and she achieved an outstanding 96.5%.

Daisy’s strong work ethic and determination are a big part of what sets her apart. She brings focus, discipline, and a willingness to keep learning, all of which have helped her make an impressive impact early in her career.

What surprised her most about freight forwarding was not just the pace or the complexity but the sheer scope of the industry. She especially values the opportunity to collaborate with people from different parts of the world and learn how others work.

For someone who began this journey at 17 in West Yorkshire, freight forwarding has become more than a career; it has opened a window to the world.

Now two years into her career at Freight Agency Limited, Daisy is still only getting started. She entered the industry with ambition and has already shown exactly what she is capable of.

Happy International Women’s Day.
