Well, we cannot end the week without celebrating the triumphs of Scotland and England in the FIFA2026 Football World Cup.

SCOTLAND

When Scotland secured a place in the finals in April 2026, with a stunning overhead kick, the whole country came out to party! The excitement has been growing for weeks. Banners are out, flags are out, bunting is everywhere. As the opening match approached, is seemed as though a quarter of the country boarded flights over to USA 😉

Fast forward to their first match on 14th June 2026 and I think we can safely say that America has fallen in love with the Tartan Army! The kilts, the sporrans, the pipes, the bands, the marching, the singing, the laughter, the banter and now…soon to be…the haggis!


AMERICA…Embrace The Chieftain!


ENGLAND

England entered the tournament as one of the top three favourites, backed by an unbeaten qualifying campaign.

Wednesday 17th June, in Dallas put a spotlight on England’s attacking strength. What a match that was. Arguably the finest of the competition so far. England always reaches for the sky. This time they will reach for a second world title that has been elusive for 60 years!

One final poignant observation to make…If England won the FIFA2026 tournament, on USA soil, in the 250th USA anniversary year, well I think our bragging rights would be more than justified!

Strait of Hormuz disruption is pushing freight costs higher

The biggest story affecting shipping is the continued disruption around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important energy and maritime chokepoints. Tanker movements remain constrained, insurance premiums have surged, and carriers are once again adding fuel surcharges. Container freight rates are also rising as ships reroute or face delays.

Red Sea and Suez Canal routing remains uncertain

Container lines are gradually testing returns to the Red Sea and Suez Canal after years of diversions around the Cape of Good Hope. However, many operators remain cautious because security risks and insurance costs remain elevated. A full-scale return could create short-term port congestion in Europe before eventually lowering shipping costs.

Port congestion is worsening in several regions

Shipping schedules are being disrupted by vessel bunching, blank sailings, and congestion at major ports around the world. Logistics providers are reporting more delays affecting both ocean freight and inland transport networks.

Freight rates are climbing again

Container rates have been rising once again in recent days as carriers pass through higher fuel costs and account for longer transit routes. Asia–Europe and Asia–Mediterranean trades are among the most affected.

Trade policy and tariffs are creating uncertainty

Shippers are still adjusting to changing tariff policies and shifting trade patterns. Companies are front-loading shipments, moving inventory earlier than usual, and rethinking sourcing strategies to reduce risk.

This is too big a story not to repost!

Happy Friday everyone! 🎉 Its been one of those roller-coaster weeks - some highs, some lows, and a lot of highs at the fuel pump ⛽😅. Petrol and diesel prices have definitely been doing their usual dance lately.

Hopefully the weekend brings fewer ups and downs and more relaxation 🍻☀️.
